Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
But the children of Israel committed a
trespass in the
accursed thing: for
Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the
accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was
kindled against the children of Israel.
The Israelites, however, acted unfaithfully regarding the things devoted to destruction.
Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to
Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the
king of
Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack
Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the
king of
Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
And thou shalt do to
Ai and her
king as thou
didst unto
Jericho and her
king: only the
spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto
yourselves: lay thee an
ambush for the city behind it.
And it came to pass, when the
king of
Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he
wist not that there were liers in
ambush against him behind the city.
When the
king of
Ai saw the Israelites, he
hurried out early in the morning with the men of the city to
engage them in battle at an appointed place overlooking the Arabah. But he did not know that an
ambush had been set up against him behind the city.
And the
king of
Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
But they took the
king of
Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
And the
king of
Ai he
hanged on a tree until
eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his
carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise
thereon a great
heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
He hung the
king of
Ai on a tree until evening, and at
sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
And it came to pass, when all the
kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against
Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the
Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken
Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to
Jericho and her
king, so he had done to
Ai and her
king; and how the inhabitants of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Now Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured
Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to
Ai and its
king as he had done to
Jericho and its
king—and that the people of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
Wherefore Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham
king of
Hebron, and unto Piram
king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia
king of
Lachish, and unto Debir
king of
Eglon, saying,
Therefore Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham
king of
Hebron, Piram
king of Jarmuth, Japhia
king of
Lachish, and Debir
king of
Eglon, saying,
Therefore the five
kings of the
Amorites, the
king of Jerusalem, the
king of
Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth, the
king of
Lachish, the
king of
Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and
encamped before
Gibeon, and made war against it.
So the five
kings of the
Amorites—the
kings of Jerusalem,
Hebron, Jarmuth,
Lachish, and
Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before
Gibeon and made war against it.
And the men of
Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to
Gilgal, saying,
Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the
kings of the
Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
Then the men of
Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at
Gilgal: “Do not
abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the
kings of the
Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
But these five
kings fled, and
hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five
kings are found
hid in a cave at Makkedah.
And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
And they did so, and brought forth those five
kings unto him out of the cave, the
king of Jerusalem, the
king of
Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth, the
king of
Lachish, and the
king of
Eglon.
So they brought the five
kings out of the cave—the
kings of Jerusalem,
Hebron, Jarmuth,
Lachish, and
Eglon.
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
And afterward Joshua
smote them, and
slew them, and
hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and
smote it with the edge of the sword, and the
king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the
king of Makkedah as he did unto the
king of
Jericho.
On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its
king. He devoted to destruction
everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the
king of Makkedah as he had done to the
king of
Jericho.
And the LORD delivered it also, and the
king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he
smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the
king thereof as he did unto the
king of
Jericho.
And the LORD also delivered that city and its
king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the
king of
Libnah as he had done to the
king of
Jericho.
Then Horam
king of
Gezer came up to help
Lachish; and Joshua
smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
At that time Horam
king of
Gezer went to help
Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
And they took it, and
smote it with the edge of the sword, and the
king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to
Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
They captured it and put to the sword its
king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at
Eglon; he devoted to destruction
Hebron and
everyone in it.
And he took it, and the
king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they
smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to
Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the
king thereof; as he had done also to
Libnah, and to her
king.
And they captured Debir, its
king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction
everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its
king as he had done to
Hebron and as he had done to
Libnah and its
king.
So Joshua
smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the
vale, and of the springs, and all their
kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
And to the
kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of
Dor on the west,
to the
kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-
dor to the west;
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and
chariots very many.
So these
kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the
seashore, along with a great number of horses and
chariots.
And when all these
kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of
Merom, to fight against Israel.
All these
kings joined forces and
encamped at the waters of
Merom to fight against Israel.
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and
smote the
king thereof with the sword: for Hazor
beforetime was the head of all those
kingdoms.
At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.
And all the cities of those
kings, and all the
kings of them, did Joshua take, and
smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.
Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to
Seir, even unto
Baal-
gad in the valley of
Lebanon under mount
Hermon: and all their
kings he took, and
smote them, and
slew them.
from Mount Halak, which rises toward
Seir, as far as
Baal-
gad in the Valley of
Lebanon at the foot of Mount
Hermon. He captured all their
kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Joshua
waged war against all these
kings for a long period of time.
Now these are the
kings of the land, which the children of Israel
smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river
Arnon unto mount
Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
Now these are the
kings of the land whom the Israelites struck down and whose lands they took beyond the Jordan to the east, from the
Arnon Valley to Mount
Hermon, including all the Arabah eastward:
Sihon
king of the
Amorites, who dwelt in
Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river
Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half
Gilead, even unto the river
Jabbok, which is the border of the children of
Ammon;
And reigned in mount
Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all
Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half
Gilead, the border of Sihon
king of
Heshbon.
He ruled over Mount
Hermon, Salecah, all of
Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and half of

And these are the
kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel
smote on this side Jordan on the west, from
Baal-
gad in the valley of
Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to
Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;

When ye have

yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be
kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

And Adoni-bezek said,
Threescore and ten
kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

kindly.”

king of
Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim
king of
Aram-naharaim, and the Israelites served him eight years.

cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of
Gera, a
Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto
Eglon the
king of Moab.
And again they
cried out to the LORD, and He raised up Ehud son of

errand unto thee, O

king.” “Silence,” said the
king, and all his attendants left him.
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

king of
Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in
Harosheth of the Gentiles.
So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin
king of
Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in

Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of
Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the
king of Hazor and the house of
Heber the Kenite.
Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of
Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin
king of Hazor and the house of
Heber the Kenite.
So God subdued on that day Jabin the
king of
Canaan before the children of Israel.

king of
Canaan before the Israelites.
And the hand of the children of Israel
prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the
king of
Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin
king of
Canaan.

king of
Canaan until they destroyed him.

And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you,
loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be
faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna,
kings of
Midian.
So
Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the
kings of
Midian.”
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two
kings of
Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and
discomfited all the host.
When Zebah and Zalmunna fled,
Gideon pursued and captured these two
kings of
Midian, routing their entire army.
Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye
slew at
Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a
king.
Next,
Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What
kind of men did you kill at
Tabor?” “Men like you,” they answered, “each one resembling the son of a
king.”

bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye
anoint me
king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the
bramble, and
devour the cedars of
Lebanon.
But the thornbush replied, ‘If you really are
anointing me as
king over you, come and find refuge in my shade. But if not, may fire come out of the thornbush and
consume the cedars of
Lebanon.’
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and
sincerely, in that ye have made
Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
Now if you have acted faithfully and
honestly in making
Abimelech king, if you have done well by Jerubbaal and his family, and if you have done to him as he deserves—

threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made
Abimelech, the son of his
maidservant,
king over the men of
Shechem, because he is your brother;)

maidservant,
king over the leaders of
Shechem because he is your brother—

king of the
Ammonites, saying, “What do you have against me that you have come to fight against my land?”
And the
king of the children of
Ammon answered unto the messengers of
Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from
Arnon even unto
Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again
peaceably.
The
king of the
Ammonites answered
Jephthah’s messengers, “When Israel came up out of Egypt, they seized my land, from the
Arnon to the
Jabbok and all the way to the Jordan. Now, therefore, restore it
peaceably.”
And
Jephthah sent messengers again unto the
king of the children of
Ammon:

king of
Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the
king of
Edom would not
hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the

contend with Israel or fight against them?

spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which
