31. Joshua next passed on with all Israel from Libnah to Lachish, where they set up a camp during the attack.
32. The Lord delivered Lachish into the power of Israel, so that on the second day Joshua captured it and put it to the sword with every person in it, just as he had done to Libnah.
33. At that time Horam, king of Gezer, came up to help Lachish, but Joshua defeated him and his people, leaving him no survivors.
34. From Lachish, Joshua passed on with all Israel to Eglon; encamping near it, they attacked it
35. and captured it the same day, putting it to the sword. On that day he put under the ban every person in it, just as he had done at Lachish.
36. From Eglon, Joshua went up with all Israel to Hebron, which they attacked
37. and captured. They put it to the sword with its king, all its cities, and every person there, leaving no survivors, just as Joshua had done to Eglon. He put it under the ban and every person in it.
38. Then Joshua and all Israel turned back to Debir and attacked it,
39. capturing it with its king and all its cities. They put them to the sword and put under the ban every person in it, leaving no survivors. Thus he did to Debir and its king what he had done to Hebron, as well as to Libnah and its king.
40. Joshua conquered the entire land; the mountain regions, the Negeb, the Shephelah, and the mountain slopes, with all their kings. He left no survivors, but put under the ban every living being, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
41. Joshua conquered them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen to Gibeon.
42. All these kings and their lands Joshua captured all at once, for the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43. Thereupon Joshua with all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.
