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.
38. Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and they fought against it.
39. And he took it and its king and all its cities; they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the people who were in it. He left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had done also to Libnah and its king.
40. So Joshua conquered all the land: the mountain country and the South and the lowland and the wilderness slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.
