¹ Thou son of man, prophesy upon the mountains of Israel, and speak, 'Hear the word of the LORD, O ye mountains of Israel: ² Thus sayeth the LORD God: Because your enemy hath said upon you, 'Aha, the high everlasting places are now become ours': ³ prophesy therefore, and speak: thus sayeth the LORD God: Seeing ye be wasted and trod down on every side, and become a possession unto the residue of the Gentiles, which have brought you into men's mouths and unto an evil name among the people:

⁸ And as for you, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot out your branches, and bring forth your fruit to my people of Israel: for it is hard by, that it will come.

³ Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, unto the land of Seir and the field of Edom.

¹ Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness, even the way to the reed sea as the LORD commanded me. And we compassed the mountains of Seir a long time.

²⁴ And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their names from under heaven. There shall no man stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

² saying, "The LORD came from Sinai, and showed his beams from Seir unto them; and appeared gloriously from mount Paran, and he came with thousands of saints, and in his righthand a law of fire for them.

⁴ from the wilderness and this Lebanon unto the great river Euphrates; and all the land of the Hittites, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coasts.

⁷ 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; ⁸ in the upper land, and nether land, in plains, and springs of water, in the wilderness, and south country the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites and the Jebusites: ⁹ The king of Jericho; The king of Ai beside Bethel; ¹⁰ The king of Jerusalem; The king of Hebron; ¹¹ The king of Jarmuth; the king of Lachish; ¹² The king of Eglon; The king of Gezer; ¹³ The king of Debir; The king of Geder; ¹⁴ The king of Hormah; The king of Arad; ¹⁵ The king of Libnah; The king of Adullam; ¹⁶ The king of Makkedah; The king of Bethel; ¹⁷ The king of Tappuah; The king of Hepher; ¹⁸ The king of Aphek; The king of Lasharon; ¹⁹ The king of Madon; The king of Hazor; ²⁰ The king of Shimronmeron; The king of Achshaph; ²¹ The king Taanach; The king of Megiddo; ²² The king of Kadesh; The king of Jokneam in Carmel; ²³ The king of the country of Dor; The king of the nations in Gilgal; ²⁴ and the king of Tirzah: All the kings together thirty and one.

⁵ And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon toward the sun rising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon until thou come to Hamath,

²³ 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.

⁷ 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. ⁸ Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me discouraged the hearts of the people. But I followed the LORD my God even unto the end. ⁹ And Moses sware the same season saying, 'The land whereon thy feet have trodden, shall be thine inheritance and thy children forever because thou hast followed the LORD my God continually.' ¹⁰ 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:

³ But when the Inhabiters of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho, and Ai, ⁴ they played wilily, and went and sent ambassadors: and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles old and rent and knit together again, ⁵ and old clouted shoes upon their feet, and old raiment upon them and all their provision of bread was dried up and hoared. ⁶ And they came unto Joshua, unto the host to Gilgal, and said unto him and unto the men of Israel, "We be come from a far country, now therefore make agreement with us." ⁷ And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, "Peradventure you dwell among us, and then how should we make peace with you?" ⁸ And they said unto Joshua, "We are thy servants." And Joshua said unto them, "What are ye, and whence come ye?" ⁹ And they answered him, "From a very far country thy servants are come, in the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, ¹⁰ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites beyond Jordan, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan which dwelt at Ashtaroth. ¹¹ Wherefore our elders and all the inhabiters of our country spake to us saying, 'Take victuals with you to serve by the way, and go against them, and say unto them: We are your servants.' Now therefore make a covenant of peace with us. ¹² This, our provision of bread, we took with us out of our houses, hot, the day we departed to come unto you. And now behold it is dried up and hoared. ¹³ And these bottles of wine which we filled were new: and see, they be rent. And these our garments and shoes are waxen old by reason of the exceeding long journey." ¹⁴ And the men took of their victuals, and counseled not with the mouth of the LORD. ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to save their lives: and the lords of the congregation sware unto them. ¹⁶ But three days after they had made peace with them, they heard that they were neighbours unto them, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ For the children of Israel took their journey and came unto their cities the third day: and their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth and Kiriathjearim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel slew them not, because the lords of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And therefore all the multitude murmured against the lords. ¹⁹ But all the lords said unto all the congregation, "We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel, and therefore we may not hurt them. ²⁰ But this we will do to them and let them live: and so shall no wrath be upon us because of the oath which we sware unto them." ²¹ And the lords said unto them, "Let them live, that they may be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation," as the lords said unto them. ²² Then Joshua sent for them, and talked with them, and said, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us and yet ye dwell among us? ²³ And now therefore cursed be you, and there shall not cease to be of you, bondmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the house of my God." ²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to do unto us, so do." ²⁶ And he dealt as it is said with them, and rid them out of the hands of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. ²⁷ And Joshua made them that same day hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the congregation and unto the altar of God unto this day, in the place which God should choose.

²¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "When thou art come into Egypt again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, so that he shall not let the people go.

¹⁶ Yet in very deed for this cause have I stirred thee up, for to show my power in thee, and to declare my name throughout all the world.

¹⁷ And behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians that they may follow you. And I will get me honour upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen.

³⁰ But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for the LORD thy God had hardened his spirit and made his heart tough because he would deliver him into thy hands as it is come to pass this day.

¹² and all the cities of those kings, with all the kings of them, Joshua took and smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded. ¹³ But Israel burnt none of the cities that stood upon hills, save Hazor only that Joshua burnt: ¹⁴ but all the spoil of the said cities and the cattle, the children of Israel caught unto themselves. But the men only they smote with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, ¹⁵ and had left no breath remaining. As the LORD commanded Joshua, and even so did Joshua: and diminished no word of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

⁴ But his father and mother wist not that it was the LORD's doing, and that he sought an occasion of the Philistines, which at that time reigned over Israel.

²⁵ If one man sin against another, the judge can redress it. But if a man sin against the LORD, who can redress it?" Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, for the LORD's will was to slay them.

¹⁵ And so the king hearkened not unto the people: for the turning away was of the LORD, to perform his saying, which the LORD said by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

²⁰ And the LORD said, 'Who shall deceive Ahab that he may go and be slain at Ramoth in Gilead?' And one said on this manner and another on that. ²¹ Then came forth a spirit and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will deceive him.' And the LORD said, 'Wherewith?' ²² And he said, 'I will go out and be a false spirit in the mouths of all Prophets.' And the LORD said, 'Thou shalt deceive him and also prevail, go forth and do even so.' ²³ Now therefore behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy Prophets: when in very deed the LORD hath spoken evil toward thee."

¹⁶ And as the prophet spake to him, he said to the prophet, "Have men made thee of the king's counsel? Cease, lest thou be beaten." And the prophet ceased, and said, "I am sure that God hath taken counsel to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and obeyest not my counsel."

⁹ And so he said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand; ye shall plainly see, and not perceive. ¹⁰ Harden the heart of this people, stop their ears, and shut their eyes, that they see not with their eyes, hear not with their ears, and understand not with their heart, and convert and be healed."

¹⁸ So hath he mercy on whom he will. And whom he will, he maketh hard hearted.

²² Even so, God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, suffered with long patience the vessels of wrath, ordained to damnation, ²³ that he might declare the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared unto glory:

²² and they ascended unto the south and came unto Hebron: where Ahiman was, and Sheshai and Talmai; the sons of Anak. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. ²³ And they came unto the river of Eshcol and they cut down there a branch with one cluster of grapes and bare it upon a staff between twain, and also of the pomegranates and of the figs of the place.

³³ And there we saw also giants, the children of Anak which are of the giants. And we seemed in our sight as it were grasshoppers and so we did in their sight."

²⁸ How shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying the people is greater and taller than we, and the cities are great and walled even up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.'

²¹ a people that was great, many and tall, as the Anakims. But the LORD destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they cast them out and they dwelt there in their stead:

² and people great and tall, even the children of the Anakims, which thou knowest and of whom thou hast heard say, 'Who is able to stand before the children of Anak?'

⁴² And all those kings and their land, Joshua took at one time: because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

¹² Now, therefore, give me this mountain which the LORD at that time promised, for thou heardest at the time, how the Anakims were there, and how the cities were great and walled. I trust the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD said." ¹³ And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit. ¹⁴ 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.

¹³ 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. ¹⁴ And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons begotten of Anak.

¹¹ And when ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho, the citizens of Jericho fought against you: the Amorites, Perezites, Cananites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, Jebusites which I delivered into your hands. ¹² And I sent hornets before you and ye cast out before you: even the two kings of the Amorites: but not with your own sword or with your own bow.

¹⁰ And Judah went unto the Cananites that dwelt in Hebron, which before time was called Kiriatharba. And slew Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai. ¹¹ And from thence they went to the inhabiters of Debir, whose name in old time was called Kiriathsepher.

²⁰ And they gave Hebron unto Caleb as Moses said. And he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

⁵ The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.

⁶ Let the praises of God be in their mouth, and two-edged swords in their hands, ⁷ to be avenged of the heathen, and to rebuke the people; ⁸ to bind their kings in chains, and their nobles with links of iron, ⁹ that they may be avenged of them, as it is written. Such honour have all his saints. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

²³ The hills fall, and all the high pride of the mountains; but the health of Israel standeth only upon God our LORD.

²³ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD, "Let not the wise man rejoice in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength; neither the rich man in his riches.

⁹ "'Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, that was as high as the Cedar trees, and as strong as the oaks: notwithstanding I destroyed his fruit from above and his root from under.

² And I saw, and behold there was a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering and for to overcome.

¹¹ And I saw heaven open, and behold a white horse: and he that sat upon him was faithful and true, and in righteousness did judge and make battle. ¹² His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew but himself. ¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the word of God. ¹⁴ And the warriors which were in heaven, followed him upon white horses, clothed with white and pure raynes: ¹⁵ and out of his mouth went out a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he trod the wine-vat of fierceness and wrath of almighty God. ¹⁶ And hath on his vesture and on his thigh, a name written, "King of Kings, and Lord of lords." ¹⁷ And I saw an angel stand in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly by the midst of heaven, "Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God, ¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and of high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and bond men, and of small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their warriors gathered together to make battle against him that sat on the horse and against his soldiers. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone: ²¹ and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were fulfilled with their flesh.

⁴⁶ And from Ekron out to the sea, all that lieth about Ashdod with their villages.

¹ And the Philistines took the ark of God and carried it from the help stone, unto Ashdod,

⁴ And then came a man and stood in the midst, out of the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath: six cubits and a handbreadth long,

¹⁶ And David waxed fainty, and Ishbi of Nob one of the sons of the Giants whose spear head weighed three hundredth sicles of brass, and was girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David. ¹⁷ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the servants of David sware unto him, saying, "Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that the light of Israel be not put out." ¹⁸ And there was yet, after this, battle with the Philistines at Nob, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph of the sons of Haraphah. ¹⁹ And there was yet the third battle in Gob, with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of the Jair slew Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite: the staff of whose spear was as great as a weaver's cloth beam. ²⁰ And there was yet battle in Gath, where was a man of a size and had on every hand six fingers and on every foot six toes — twenty four in all — and was also of the kindred of the Giants, and defied Israel. ²¹ And Jonathan the son of Shimei, the brother of David, slew him. ²² These four were of the sons of the Giants in Gath, and were overthrown by the hand of David and by the hands of his servants.

³⁹ And it chanced, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And one told Shimei, saying, "See, thy servants be in Gath."

¹³ and Beriah and Shema — ancient heads among the inhabiters of Aijalon, and they drave out away the inhabiters of Gath -

¹ And after that, David beat the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and the towns that belonged thereto, out of the hands of the Philistines.

⁴ even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of silver tried: ⁵ to sile the walls of the house with gold where it becometh, and with silver where silver is meet, and for all manner of work by the hands of Artificers. And let me see who is willing also, to fill his hand for the LORD this day." ⁶ And the ancient lords and the lords of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and hundreds and the lords over the substance of the king, were willing ⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God, five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand pieces of gold coins, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸ And they that had precious stones gave them for the treasure of the house of the LORD, unto the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

⁶ And he went to battle against the Philistines and brake down the walls of Gath, and the walls of Jabneh and the walls of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod and among the Philistines.

²³ And at the same time saw I Jews, that married wives of Ashdod, Ammon, and of Moab; ²⁴ and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of the one people and the other people.

¹ In the same year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, where Sargon the king of the Assyrians sent him; what time as he also besieged Ashdod, and won it the same season:

²⁷ I will send my fear before thee and will kill all the people whither thou shalt go. And I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee, ²⁸ and I will send hornets before thee, and they shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites before thee. ²⁹ I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land grow to a wilderness: and the beasts of the field multiply upon thee. ³⁰ But a little and a little I will drive them out before thee, until thou be increased that thou mayest inherit the land. ³¹ And I will make thy coasts from the reed sea unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river. I will deliver the inhabiters of the land into thine hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

¹¹ Keep all that I command thee this day, and behold: I will cast out before thee the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

⁵² And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ⁵³ "Unto these the land shall be divided to inherit, according to the number of names: ⁵⁴ to many, thou shalt give the more inheritance; and to few, the less. To every tribe shall the inheritance be given according to the number thereof. ⁵⁵ Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot; and according to the names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit:

³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. Bold him therefore, for he shall divide it unto Israel.

²³ then will the LORD cast out all these nations; and ye shall conquer them which are both greater and mightier than yourselves. ²⁴ All the places whereon the soles of your feet shall tread, shall be yours: even from the wilderness and from Lebanon and from the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coasts be. ²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall cast the fear and dread of you upon all lands whither ye shall come, as he hath said unto you,

⁹ for ye are not yet come to rest nor unto the inheritance which the LORD your God giveth you. ¹⁰ But ye shall go over Jordan and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about: and ye shall dwell in safety.

¹⁹ Therefore when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit and possess: see that thou put out the name of Amalek from under heaven, and forget not.

¹⁸ Joshua made war long time with those kings:

¹ And these are the countries which the children inherited in the land of Canaan, unto which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun and the ancient heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, ² 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. ³ 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. ⁴ 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. ⁵ As the LORD commanded Moses, even so the children of Israel did when they divided the land. ⁶ And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea. ⁷ 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. ⁸ Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me discouraged the hearts of the people. But I followed the LORD my God even unto the end. ⁹ And Moses sware the same season saying, 'The land whereon thy feet have trodden, shall be thine inheritance and thy children forever because thou hast followed the LORD my God continually.' ¹⁰ 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: ¹¹ 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. ¹² Now, therefore, give me this mountain which the LORD at that time promised, for thou heardest at the time, how the Anakims were there, and how the cities were great and walled. I trust the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD said." ¹³ And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit. ¹⁴ 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. ¹⁵ And the name of Hebron was called in old time, Kiriatharba, which was a huge man among the Anakims. And the land ceased from war.

¹⁰ 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.

⁴⁴ And the LORD gave the rest round about according to all that he sware unto their fathers. So that there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. But the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hands. ⁴⁵ There escaped nothing of all the good things which the LORD had said unto the house of Israel. But all came to pass.

⁴ And now the LORD hath given rest unto your brethren as he promised them. Wherefore, return and go unto your tents and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

¹ And it came to pass, a long season after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and was stricken in years.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith. ⁸ From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming.

⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. ⁹ There remaineth therefore yet a rest to the people of God.
