27
So it was at the time of the going down of the sun that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
28
On that day Joshua took Makkedah, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them--all the people who were in it. He let none remain. He also did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah; and they fought against Libnah.
30
And the Lord also delivered it and its king into the hand of Israel; he struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword. He let none remain in it, but did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31
Then Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
32
And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he left him none remaining.
34
From Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
35
They took it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; all the people who were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36
So Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
37
And they took it and struck it with the edge of the sword--its king, all its cities, and all the people who were in it; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon, but utterly destroyed it and all the people who were in it.
