Hebron; LORD bade him: he houghed their horses,
and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 And Joshua at that time turned
back, and took Hazor, and smote
king thereof with the sword: for Hazor
beforetime was the head of all those
kingdoms.

87 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.

38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:

39 And he took it, and the king there-
of, and all the cities thereof; and they
smote them with the edge of the sword,
and utterly destroyed all the souls that
were therein; he left none remaining as
he had done to Hebron, so he did to
Debir, and to the king thereof; as he
had done also to Libnah, and to her
king.

40 So Joshua smote all the country
of the hills, and of the south, and of
the 5 vale, and of the springs, and all
their kings he left none remaining, but
utterly destroyed all that breathed, as
the LORD God of Israel s commanded.
41 And Joshua smote them from Ka-
desh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all
the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 And all these kings and their land
did Joshua take at one time, because
the LORD God of Israel fought for Is-
rael.

43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel
with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

CHAPTER 11.

1 Divers kings overcome at the waters of Merom.
10 Hazor is taken and burnt. 16 All the country
taken by Joshui. 21 The Anakims cut off.

11 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not tany left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take. and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, "as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.

13 But as for the cities that stood still 5+ in their strength, Israel burned none of then, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; the left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the 3 valley of the same;

17 Eren from 8 the mount Halak 8, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and "all their kings he

many.

together, they came and pitched together
at the waters of Merom, to fight against

19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.

20 For it was of the LORD to harden
their hearts, that they should come a-
gainst Israel in battle, that he might
destroy them utterly, and that they might
have no favour, but that he might de-
stroy them, as the LORD commanded
Moses.

21 And at that time came Joshua,
and cut off the Anakims from the

of Judah, and from all the mountains of

22 There was none of the Anakims left

only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod,
there remained.

23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.

30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities: 31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families. 32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.

my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

But Zelophehad, the son of He- Num.255. pher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 And they came near before Eleazar í ch. 14. L. the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

5 2 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and i Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but "one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto ?

15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if 10 mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
