16And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17And it was told Joshua, saying: 'The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.' 18And Joshua said: 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them; 19but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for the LORD your "God hath delivered them into your hand/ 20And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, 21that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none whetted his tongue against any of the children of Israel. ^Then said Joshua: ' Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.' MAnd they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto hi™ out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the long of Eglon. MAnd it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him: 'Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.' And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25Aad Joshua said unto them: 'Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong ana of good courage; for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.' 26And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees un- til the evening. 27And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.
28And Joshua took Makkedah oa that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof; he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
29And Joshua passed from Makke- dah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah. 30And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
^And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him^unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it. ^And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
^Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote 10 JOSHUA him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it. 35And ^they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according* to all that he had done to Lachish.
36And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it. 37And 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 re- maining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
38And Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it. 39And he took it, and the king thereof, 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 the king thereof.
40So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the Lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining; but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded. ^And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. ^And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. ^And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
"1 "1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of SMmron, and to the king of Achshaph, 2and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the Lowland, and in the regions of Dor on the west, ^o the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amprite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill- country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. 4And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many. 5And all these kings met together; and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
6And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel; thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire/ 7So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them. 8And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh east- ward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining. 9And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him; he houghed their horses, and burnt then* chariots with fire. ^ 10And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; for Hazor JOSHUA JOSHUA beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms. uAnd they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed; and he burnt Hazor with fire. ^And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly de- stroyed them; as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded. 13But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only — that did Joshua burn. 14And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto them- selves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed. 15As the LORD commanded Moses His serv- ant, so did Moses command Joshua; and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD com- manded Moses.
16So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the Low- land, and the Arabah, and the hill- country of Israel, and the Lowland of the same; 17from the bare mountain, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon un- der mount Hermon; and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them tof death. 18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. 19There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon; they took all in battle. 20For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that they might be utterly destroyed, that they might have no favour, but that they might be de- stroyed, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakun from the hill- country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill- country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them "with their cities. ^There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain. ^So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
1 O Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward: 2Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, the bor- der of the children of Ammon; 3and the Arabah unto the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and unto the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt^Sea, eastward, the way to Beth-jeshjmoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah; ^nd the border of Og Mng of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 5and ruled in mount Hermon, and in Saleah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half ^ Gilead, even unto the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. 6Moses the servant of the JOSHUA LORD and the children of Israel smote them; and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
7And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote beyond the Jordan west- ward, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the bare moun- tain, that goeth up to Seir; and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions; 8m the hill-country, and in the Low- land, and in the Arabah, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and m the South; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: ^he king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Beth-el, one; 10the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; uthe king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; 12the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; 13the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; 14the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; 15the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; 16the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Beth-el, one; 17the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; 18the king of Aphek, one; the king of the Sharon, one; 19the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; 20the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; 21the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; 2*the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one; 23the king of Dor in the region of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in the Gilgal, one; 24the king of Tirzah, one. All the kings thirty and one. 1 O Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him: 'Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there re- maineth yet very much land to be possessed. 2This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites; ^rom the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward — which is counted to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite, and the Ash- dodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite; also the Avvim 4on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that be- longeth to the Zidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; 5and the land of the Gebahtes, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath; 6all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Zidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel; only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 7Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.' 8With turn the Reubenites and the Gad- ites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them; ^rom Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba unto Dibon; 10and all JOSHUA the cities of Sihon king of the Amor- ites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon; "and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hennon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; 12all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei — the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim — for these did Moses smite, and drove them out. "Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites; but Geshur and Maacath dwelt in the midst of Israel unto this day. 140nly unto the tribe of ]Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of the LOBD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as He spoke unto him.
15And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families. 16And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the city that iSjin the middle of the valley, and all the 'table-land by Medeba; 17Hesh- bon, and all her cities that are in the table-land; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; 18and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath; 19and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth- shahar in the mount of the valley; 20and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; ^and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amor- ites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land. ^Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain. ^And | as for the border of the children of Reuben, the Jordan was their border.
This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
24And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, ac- cording to their families. 25And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah; 26and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Lidbir; 27and in the valley, Beth- haram, and Beth-mmrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan being the border thereof, unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. 28This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
29And Moses gave inheritance unto the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families, 30And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities; 81and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.
^These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. ^But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their in- heritance, as He spoke unto them. "j A And these are the inheritances -"-^ which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, JOSHUA and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me; as my strength distributed unto them, 2by the lot of was then, even so is my strength now, their inheritance, as the LORD comfor war, and to go out and to come in.

This is the bor- der of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
MAnd unto Caleb the son of Je- phunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the X/OBD to Joshua, even IGriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak — the same is He- bron. 14And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir — now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath- sepher. 16And Caleb said: 'He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh give Achsah my 17And Othniel the *JSeb. land of the tfweb, that is, a dry land.

And he gave her the Upper Springs and the Nether Springs.
