Joshua 10:35-43

10:35 That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they ¹  annihilated it just as they ²  had done to Lachish.

10:36 Joshua and all Israel marched up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it. 10:37 They captured it and put the sword to its king, all its surrounding cities, and all who lived in it; they ³  left no survivors. As they ⁴  had done at Eglon, they ⁵  annihilated it and all who lived there.

10:38 Joshua and all Israel turned to Debir and fought against it. 10:39 They ⁶  captured it, its king, and all its surrounding cities and put the sword to them. They annihilated everyone who lived there; they ⁷  left no survivors. They ⁸  did to Debir and its king what they ⁹  had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron. ¹⁰ 

10:40 Joshua defeated the whole land, including the hill country, the Negev, the lowlands, ¹¹  the slopes, and all their kings. He left no survivors. He annihilated everything that breathed, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded. 10:41 Joshua conquered the area between Kadesh Barnea and Gaza and the whole region of Goshen, all the way to Gibeon. ¹²  10:42 Joshua captured in one campaign ¹³  all these kings and their lands, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. 10:43 Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.
