38. Joshua and all Israel turned to Debir and fought against it.
39. They captured it, its king, and all its surrounding cities and put the sword to them. They annihilated everyone who lived there; they left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king what they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.
40. Joshua defeated the whole land, including the hill country, the Negev, the lowlands, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no survivors. He annihilated everything that breathed, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.
41. Joshua conquered the area between Kadesh Barnea and Gaza and the whole region of Goshen, all the way to Gibeon.
42. Joshua captured in one campaign all these kings and their lands, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
43. Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.
