- So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country, all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah and the mountains of Israel with their foothills,
- from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
- Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time.
- Except for the Hivites living in Gibeon, not one city made a treaty of peace with the Israelites, who took them all in battle.
- For it was the LORD himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

- 約書亞奪了那全地、就是山地、一帶南地、歌珊全地、高原、亞拉巴、以色列的山地、和山下的高原。
- 從上西珥的哈拉山、直到黑門山下利巴嫩平原的巴力迦得.並且擒獲那些地的諸王、將他們殺死。
- 約書亞和這諸王爭戰了許多年日。
- 除了基遍的希未人之外、沒有一城與以色列人講和的.都是以色列人爭戰奪來的。
- 因為耶和華的意思、是要使他們心裡剛硬、來與以色列人爭戰、好叫他們盡被殺滅、不蒙憐憫、正如耶和華所吩咐摩西的。
