32 And the LORD {YHWH} delivered Lachish (invincible) into the hand of Israel (he wrestles with God), and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah (pavement). 33 At that time Horam (exalted) king of Gezer (portion) went to help Lachish (invincible), but Joshua (YHWH saves) struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors. 34 So Joshua (YHWH saves) moved on from Lachish (invincible) to Eglon (calf-like), and all Israel (he wrestles with God) with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it. 35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish (invincible). 36 Then Joshua (YHWH saves) and all Israel (he wrestles with God) with him went up from Eglon (calf-like) to Hebron (association) and fought against it. 37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon (calf-like); he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it. 38 Finally Joshua (YHWH saves) and all Israel (he wrestles with God) with him turned toward Debir (sanctuary) and fought against it. 39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir (sanctuary) and its king as he had done to Hebron (association) and as he had done to Libnah (pavement) and its king. 40 So Joshua (YHWH saves) conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev (southland), the foothills {Shephelah}, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), had commanded. 41 Joshua (YHWH saves) conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea (holy) to Gaza (the strong), and the whole region of Goshen (drawing near) as far as Gibeon (hill city). 42 And because the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), fought for Israel, Joshua (YHWH saves) captured all these kings and their land in one campaign. 43 Then Joshua (YHWH saves) returned with all Israel (he wrestles with God) to the camp at Gilgal (a wheel).
