Joshua 10:34-42 Modern English Version (MEV)

34. From Lachish, Joshua and all of Israel passed to Eglon. They camped against it and waged war against it.

35. They captured it that day and struck it with the edge of the sword. All who lived in it were destroyed that day, just as Israel had done to Lachish.

36. Then Joshua and all of Israel went up from Eglon to Hebron and waged war against it.

37. They captured it and struck its king, and all who lived in it, and its surrounding towns with the edge of the sword. No survivor was left. Just as they had done to Eglon, they destroyed it and all who lived in it.

38. Then Joshua and all of Israel turned to Debir and waged war against it.

39. They captured it, its king, and all its surrounding towns and struck them with the edge of the sword. They destroyed all who lived in them, and no survivor was left. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king as they had done to Libnah and its king.

40. So Joshua attacked the whole land: the hill country, the Negev, the lowlands, the mountain slopes, and all their kings. No survivor was left. He destroyed all who breathed, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.

41. Joshua attacked the land from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza and the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.

42. Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign because the Lord God of Israel waged war for Israel.
