Joshua 11:21

Read in context

Joshua 11:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.

20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.

21 At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.

22 No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.

23 So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
