“ However, anything specially set apart for the Lord— whether a person, an animal, or family property— must never be sold or bought back. Anything devoted in this way has been set apart as holy, and it belongs to the Lord.No person specially set apart for destruction may be bought back. Such a person must be put to death.

In those towns that the Lord your God is giving you as a special possession, destroy every living thing.You must completely destroy the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, just as the Lord your God has commanded you.

For your part, you were not to make any covenants with the people living in this land; instead, you were to destroy their altars. But you disobeyed my command. Why did you do this?

“ We offer our own lives as a guarantee for your safety,” the men agreed.“ If you don’t betray us, we will keep our promise and be kind to you when the Lord gives us the land.”

They confronted a man coming out of the town and said to him,“ Show us a way into the town, and we will have mercy on you.”

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.

“ So the Lord our God handed King Og and all his people over to us, and we killed them all. Not a single person survived.

But the Israelites did not attack the towns, for the Israelite leaders had made a vow to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. The people of Israel grumbled against their leaders because of the treaty.But the leaders replied,“ Since we have sworn an oath in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel, we cannot touch them.This is what we must do. We must let them live, for divine anger would come upon us if we broke our oath.Let them live.” So they made them woodcutters and water carriers for the entire community, as the Israelite leaders directed.

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.

Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords— men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys.Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies,“ Keep your promise. Go to the prostitute’s house and bring her out, along with all her family.”The men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all the other relatives who were with her. They moved her whole family to a safe place near the camp of Israel.Then the Israelites burned the town and everything in it. Only the things made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron were kept for the treasury of the Lord’s house.So Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her relatives who were with her in the house, because she had hidden the spies Joshua sent to Jericho.

“ Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped.Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles.You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.“ You must not make a treaty of any kind with the people living in the land. They lust after their gods, offering sacrifices to them. They will invite you to join them in their sacrificial meals, and you will go with them.Then you will accept their daughters, who sacrifice to other gods, as wives for your sons. And they will seduce your sons to commit adultery against me by worshiping other gods.

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.”

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.

And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies.

And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered.

So the king summoned the Gibeonites. They were not part of Israel but were all that was left of the nation of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul, in his zeal for Israel and Judah, had tried to wipe them out.

“ Anyone who sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed.
