31 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed from Libnah to Lachish, and he encamped about it, and besieged it.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and they put the inhabitants to death with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed it, as they had done to Libnah.

34 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed from Lachish to Eglon, and he besieged it and took it.
35 And the Lord delivered it into the hand of Israel; and he took it on that day, and killed the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and killed everything breathing in it, as they did to Lachish.
36 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed to Hebron, and encamped about it.
37 And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the living creatures that were in it; there was no one preserved. They destroyed it and all things in it, as they did to Eglon.
38 And Joshua and all Israel returned to Debir; and they encamped about it;
39 and they took it, and its king, and its villages. And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and they destroyed it, and everything breathing in it; and they did not leave in it anyone that was preserved: as they did to Hebron and her king, so they did to Debir and her king.
