“ Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord.“ Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

The Israelites sent ambassadors to King Sihon of the Amorites with this message:“ Let us travel through your land. We will be careful not to go through your fields and vineyards. We won’t even drink water from your wells. We will stay on the king’s road until we have passed through your territory.”But King Sihon refused to let them cross his territory. Instead, he mobilized his entire army and attacked Israel in the wilderness, engaging them in battle at Jahaz.But the Israelites slaughtered them with their swords and occupied their land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River. They went only as far as the Ammonite border because the boundary of the Ammonites was fortified.So Israel captured all the towns of the Amorites and settled in them, including the city of Heshbon and its surrounding villages.Heshbon had been the capital of King Sihon of the Amorites. He had defeated a former Moabite king and seized all his land as far as the Arnon River.Therefore, the ancient poets wrote this about him:“ Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt! Let the city of Sihon be restored.A fire flamed forth from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It burned the city of Ar in Moab; it destroyed the rulers of the Arnon heights.What sorrow awaits you, O people of Moab! You are finished, O worshipers of Chemosh! Chemosh has left his sons as refugees, his daughters as captives of Sihon, the Amorite king.We have utterly destroyed them, from Heshbon to Dibon. We have completely wiped them out as far away as Nophah and Medeba.”So the people of Israel occupied the territory of the Amorites.After Moses sent men to explore the Jazer area, they captured all the towns in the region and drove out the Amorites who lived there.Then they turned and marched up the road to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and all his people attacked them at Edrei.The Lord said to Moses,“ Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”And Israel killed King Og, his sons, and all his subjects; not a single survivor remained. Then Israel occupied their land.

The Lord threw them into a panic, and the Israelites slaughtered great numbers of them at Gibeon. Then the Israelites chased the enemy along the road to Beth horon, killing them all along the way to Azekah and Makkedah.As the Amorites retreated down the road from Beth horon, the Lord destroyed them with a terrible hailstorm from heaven that continued until they reached Azekah. The hail killed more of the enemy than the Israelites killed with the sword.On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said,“ Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies. Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day.There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the Lord answered such a prayer. Surely the Lord fought for Israel that day!Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their camp at Gilgal.During the battle the five kings escaped and hid in a cave at Makkedah.When Joshua heard that they had been found,he issued this command:“ Cover the opening of the cave with large rocks, and place guards at the entrance to keep the kings inside.The rest of you continue chasing the enemy and cut them down from the rear. Don’t give them a chance to get back to their towns, for the Lord your God has given you victory over them.”So Joshua and the Israelite army continued the slaughter and completely crushed the enemy. They totally wiped out the five armies except for a tiny remnant that managed to reach their fortified towns.Then the Israelites returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah. After that, no one dared to speak even a word against Israel.Then Joshua said,“ Remove the rocks covering the opening of the cave, and bring the five kings to me.”So they brought the five kings out of the cave— the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.When they brought them out, Joshua told the commanders of his army,“ Come and put your feet on the kings’ necks.” And they did as they were told.“ Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua told his men.“ Be strong and courageous, for the Lord is going to do this to all of your enemies.”Then Joshua killed each of the five kings and impaled them on five sharpened poles, where they hung until evening.As the sun was going down, Joshua gave instructions for the bodies of the kings to be taken down from the poles and thrown into the cave where they had been hiding. Then they covered the opening of the cave with a pile of large rocks, which remains to this very day.That same day Joshua captured and destroyed the town of Makkedah. He killed everyone in it, including the king, leaving no survivors. He destroyed them all, and he killed the king of Makkedah as he had killed the king of Jericho.Then Joshua and the Israelites went to Libnah and attacked it.There, too, the Lord gave them the town and its king. He killed everyone in it, leaving no survivors. Then Joshua killed the king of Libnah as he had killed the king of Jericho.From Libnah, Joshua and the Israelites went to Lachish and attacked it.Here again, the Lord gave them Lachish. Joshua took it on the second day and killed everyone in it, just as he had done at Libnah.During the attack on Lachish, King Horam of Gezer arrived with his army to help defend the town. But Joshua’s men killed him and his army, leaving no survivors.Then Joshua and the Israelite army went on to Eglon and attacked it.They captured it that day and killed everyone in it. He completely destroyed everyone, just as he had done at Lachish.From Eglon, Joshua and the Israelite army went up to Hebron and attacked it.They captured the town and killed everyone in it, including its king, leaving no survivors. They did the same thing to all of its surrounding villages. And just as he had done at Eglon, he completely destroyed the entire population.Then Joshua and the Israelites turned back and attacked Debir.He captured the town, its king, and all of its surrounding villages. He completely destroyed everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He did to Debir and its king just what he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king.So Joshua conquered the whole region— the kings and people of the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills, and the mountain slopes. He completely destroyed everyone in the land, leaving no survivors, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.Joshua slaughtered them from Kadesh barnea to Gaza and from the region around the town of Goshen up to Gibeon.Joshua conquered all these kings and their land in a single campaign, for the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for his people.Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their camp at Gilgal.

In those days Israel was holy to the Lord, the first of his children. All who harmed his people were declared guilty, and disaster fell on them. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

These are the kings east of the Jordan River who had been killed by the Israelites and whose land was taken. Their territory extended from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon and included all the land east of the Jordan Valley.King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, was defeated. His kingdom included Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon Gorge, and extended from the middle of the Arnon Gorge to the Jabbok River, which serves as a border for the Ammonites. This territory included the southern half of the territory of Gilead.Sihon also controlled the Jordan Valley and regions to the east— from as far north as the Sea of Galilee to as far south as the Dead Sea, including the road to Beth jeshimoth and southward to the slopes of Pisgah.King Og of Bashan, the last of the Rephaites, lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei.He ruled a territory stretching from Mount Hermon to Salecah in the north and to all of Bashan in the east, and westward to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah. This territory included the northern half of Gilead, as far as the boundary of King Sihon of Heshbon.Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites had destroyed the people of King Sihon and King Og. And Moses gave their land as a possession to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.The following is a list of the kings that Joshua and the Israelite armies defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which leads up to Seir.( Joshua gave this land to the tribes of Israel as their possession,including the hill country, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountain slopes, the Judean wilderness, and the Negev. The people who lived in this region were the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.) These are the kings Israel defeated:The king of Jericho The king of Ai, near BethelThe king of Jerusalem The king of HebronThe king of Jarmuth The king of LachishThe king of Eglon The king of GezerThe king of Debir The king of GederThe king of Hormah The king of AradThe king of Libnah The king of AdullamThe king of Makkedah The king of BethelThe king of Tappuah The king of HepherThe king of Aphek The king of LasharonThe king of Madon The king of HazorThe king of Shimron meron The king of AcshaphThe king of Taanach The king of MegiddoThe king of Kedesh The king of Jokneam in CarmelThe king of Dor in the town of Naphoth dor The king of Goyim in GilgalThe king of Tirzah. In all, thirty one kings were defeated.

The Lord heard the Israelites’ request and gave them victory over the Canaanites. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and the place has been called Hormah ever since.

so he led his forces to Mount Zalmon. He took an ax and chopped some branches from a tree, then put them on his shoulder.“ Quick, do as I have done!” he told his men.

And the Israelites served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and the leaders who outlived him— those who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.

The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses.From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky:“ Come! Gather together for the great banquet God has prepared.Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.”Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army.And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast— miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the white horse. And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies.
