And that same day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof also, and utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain. And he did to the king of Makkedah, as he did to the king of Jericho.

And the LORD delivered, into the hands of Israel, Lachish; that they took it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he did to Libnah.

Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish: But Joshua smote him and his people, until he left him nought remaining.

and took it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein: and utterly destroyed them the same day, according to all that he did to Lachish.

and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the towns that pertained to it, and all the souls that were therein, so that they left nought remaining: but in all things as they did to Eglon, so they destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.

Then Joshua returned and all Israel with him to Debir, and they fought against it,

and took it, and the king thereof and all the towns that pertained thereto. And smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain. And as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and the king thereof, and as he did to Libnah and her king.

And then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the host to Gilgal.

And when Jabin king of Hazor had heard that, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph;

And all these kings met together, and came and pitched together upon the water of Merom, for to fight with Israel.

even from mount Halak that goeth up to Seir, unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon. And all the kings of the same, he took and smote them, and slew them.

for it came of the LORD to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle: even to destroy them utterly, that they should have no mercy, but to bring them to naught. As the LORD commanded Moses.

And Joshua took the whole land according to all that the LORD said unto Moses, and gave it a possession unto Israel, every man his part in their tribes: and the land rested from war.

Sihon king of the Amorites that dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which lieth on the brim of the river of Arnon, and to the middle of the river, and half Gilead unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;

And in the plain unto the sea of Chinnereth eastward, and unto the sea in the plain called the salt sea eastward, the way to Bethjeshimoth and by south under the springs of Pisgah.

These are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan, westward, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon, even unto mount Halak that goeth up to Seir. And Joshua gave the land unto the tribes of Israel to possess, to every man his part;

When Joshua was waxen old, and stricken in years, the LORD said unto him, "Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet exceeding much land to be possessed.

from Shihor in Egypt unto the borders of Ekron northward, which land was counted to pertain unto the Cananites, even to the five lords of the Philistines: the Gazathites, Ashdothites, Eshkalonites, Gittites, Ekronites, with the Avites,

from the south. All the land of the Cananites, and Mearah that pertaineth to the Sidonians, even unto Aphek, and to the borders of the Amorites.

And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon toward the sun rising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon until thou come to Hamath,

all the inhabiters of the hill country, from Lebanon unto the hot waters even all the Sidonians. I will cast them out from before the children of Israel, and see that thou in any wise divide it by lot unto the children of Israel to inherit, as I have commanded thee.

Now therefore divide this land to inherit, unto the nine tribes and the half tribe of Manasseh."

Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites nor the Maacathites: But the Geshurites and the Maacathites dwelt among the Israelites even unto this day.

These are they to which Moses gave inheritance in the fields of Moab, on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward.

gave them their inheritance by lot, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, to give unto the nine tribes, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh.

For Moses had given inheritance unto two tribes and a half on the other side Jordan. But unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in and the suburbs of the same, for their beasts and cattle.

Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I brought them word again even as I thought in mine heart.

And now behold, the LORD hath kept me lusty, as he said, this forty and five years, even since the LORD spake unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness. And now see I am this day four score and five years:

and yet am as strong at this time, as I was when Moses sent me: look how strong I was then, so strong I am now, to war and to do all manner of things.

And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit.

And Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day: because he followed the LORD God of Israel perpetually.

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah in their kindreds was the wilderness of Zin that stretched to the coasts of Edom southward, and is the utmost part of the south coasts.

And it went out on the south side of the going up to Akrabbim, and went along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, and went along the Hezron and went up to Addar, and set a compass to Karka,

and went along to Azmon, and it went out to the river of Egypt: so that the end of the coast is the sea. And these are their south coasts.

And went up to Bethhoglah and went along by the north side of Betharabah and went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

And then went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal that lieth before the going up to Adummim, which is of the south side of the River. And then went along to the water of Enshemesh, and ended at the well of Rogel.

And then went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, even unto the south side of the Jebusites the inhabiters of Jerusalem. And then went up to the top of the hill that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, and by the edge of the valley of Rephaim northward;

and then it draweth from the sand hill unto the fountain of water called Nephtoah, and goeth out at the cities of mount Ephron; and draweth to Baalah, otherwise called Kiriathjearim;

and then it compasseth from Baalah westward, unto Seir, and then goeth along unto the side of mount Jearim, otherwise called Chesalon, on the north side thereof; and cometh down to Bethshemesh and goeth to Timnah,

and goeth out on the side of Ekron northward; And then draweth to Shikkeron and goeth along to mount Baalah, and goeth out at Jabneel; and the end of the coasts is the sea.

And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh was there a part given among the children of Judah, by the mouth of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Kiriatharba father of Anak which city is called Hebron.

And he went up thence, to the inhabiters of Debir, whose name in the old time was Kiriathsepher.

And Caleb said, "He that smiteth Kiriathsepher and taketh it: to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb took it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

And as she went, she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she alighted off her ass. And Caleb said unto her, "What aileth thee?"

And from Ekron out to the sea, all that lieth about Ashdod with their villages.

Kiriathbaal, which is Kiriathjearim, and Harabbah: Two cities with their villages.

But the Jebusites that were the inhabiters of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not cast out. Wherefore the Jebusites dwell among the children of Judah unto this day.

and then goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and runneth along unto the borders of Archiataroth;

and goeth down westward, even unto the coasts of Japhleti, and unto the coasts of Bethhoron the nether, and so to Gezer, and the ends of their coasts came to the sea.

and went out westward to Michmethath on the north side, and compassed eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and past it on the east side unto Janoah,

and went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, and met at Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

Notwithstanding, they drave not out the Cananites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Cananites dwelt among the Ephraimites unto this day, and pay tribute.

which came before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the lords, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren." And he gave them at the mouth of the LORD, an inheritance among the brethren of their fathers.

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh beside the lands of Gilead and Bashan which are on the other side Jordan:

And the coasts of Manasseh reached from Asher to Michmethath that lieth before Shechem and went along on the righthand, even unto the inhabiters of Entappuah,

and the land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, which Tappuah lay in the borders between Manasseh and the children of Ephraim.

so that the south pertained to Ephraim, and the north to Manasseh, and the sea is his border. And they met together in Asher northward, and in Issachar eastward.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Bethshean, and her towns: and the inhabiters of Dor, with the towns pertaining to the same: and the inhabiters of Endor with the towns of the same: and the inhabiters of Taanach with her towns and the inhabiters of Megiddo with the towns of the same, even three countries:

yet the children of Manasseh could not overcome those cities, but the Cananites began to dwell in the same land.

Nevertheless, as soon as the children of Israel were waxed strong, they put the Cananites to tribute, but expelled them not.

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, "Why hast thou given us but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing we be much people, and forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed us so?"

And Joshua answered them, "If ye be much people, then get you up to the wood country, and prepare for yourselves there in the land of the Perezites and of the Rephaim, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for you."

But the hill shall be yours, for it is a wood country and ye shall bring it to fashion, and it shall be yours even unto the ends of it, for ye shall be able to cast out the Cananites for all their iron chariots and for all they be so strong."

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, "How long are ye so slack to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

Bring of every tribe three men that I may send them. And that they may rise and walk through the land and distribute it by their inheritances and come again to me.

Divide it into seven parts. For Judah shall abide by their coasts in the south, and the house of Joseph shall stand to their coasts in the north.

Describe ye the land therefore into seven parts, and bring the description to me hither, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

And the men arose and went their way. And Joshua charged them that went to describe the land saying, "Hence, and go through the land and describe it, and come again to me hither: and I will cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh."

And the men departed, and walked through the land and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and returned to Joshua unto the host at Shiloh.

And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD, and there he divided the land unto the children of Israel, to each their portion.

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their kindreds. And the coasts of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

And their north coasts were from Jordan and went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward, and they ended at the wilderness of Bethaven;

and went from thence to the south side of Luz, otherwise called Bethel: and descended to Atarothaddar upon the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.

And the south coast goeth from the edge of Kiriathjearim westward, and goeth out to the water well of Nephtoah;

and cometh down to the edge of the hill that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom which is in the valley of Rephaim northward, and descendeth through the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward and goeth down to the well of Rogel.

And compasseth from the north and goeth forth to Enshemesh and to the coasts that lie before the going up unto Adummim; and goeth down to the stone of Bohan the son of Ruben;

and goeth along to the side of Bethhoglah northward, and endeth and the point of the salt sea north therefrom, and at the end of Jordan south therefrom. This is the south coast,

Out of the portion of the children of Judah came the inheritance of the children of Simeon. For the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: and therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance in the inheritance of them.

And the third lot came unto the children of Zebulun according unto their kindreds. And the coasts of their inheritance came to Sarid,

and went up to the sea and to Mareal, and touched at Dabbesheth, and met at the river that lieth before Jokneam;

and turned from Sarid eastward toward the sun rising unto the border of Chisloth in mount Tabor: and then goeth out to Daberath and goeth up to Japhia;

and from thence goeth along eastward toward the sun rising, to Gathhepher, Ethkazin, and goeth to Rimmon, Methoar, and Neah.

And compasseth it on the north side and goeth to Nathan, and endeth in the valley of Iphtahel.

And the fourth lot came out to the children of Issachar by their kindreds.

and turneth toward the sun rising to Bethdagon, and met at Zebulun and in the valley of Iphtahel, and toward the northside of Bethemek and Neiel, and goeth out on the left side of Cabul;

And then the coast turneth to Ramah and to the strong city of Azor and turneth to Hosah and endeth at the sea, by the possession of Achzib;

Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob: Twenty and two cities with their villages.

And their coasts were from Heleph and from Allon in Zaananim, and Adaminekeb and Jabneel even to Lakkum, and go out at Jordan.

And then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth in mount Tabor, and then goeth out from thence to Hukkok and meeteth with Zebulun on the south side, and with Asher on the west, and at Judah upon Jordan toward the sun rising.

And the seventh lot fell to the tribe of Dan by their kindreds.

These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and to the strangers that Sojourned among them that whosoever killed any person ignorantly, the same might flee thither and should not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

and spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan saying, "The LORD commanded by Moses, to give us cities to dwell in and the fields about them, for our cattle."

But the country that pertained to the city and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh, to be his possession.

And thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest the franchised cities of the slayer, Hebron with her suburbs, and Libnah with her suburbs;

and Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs: Nine cities out of those two tribes.

And the kindreds of the children of Kohath that were Levities - that is to say the other children of Kohath - had the cities of their lot, out of the tribe of Ephraim.

And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with her suburbs; Gathrimmon with her suburbs: Two cities.

And unto the children of Gershon which were of the kindreds of the Levites, they gave out of the other half tribe of Manasseh, the city of refuge for the slayer, Golan in Bashan with her suburbs; Beeshterah with her suburbs: Two cities.
