Joshua 11:15-17

¹⁵ Long ago the Lord had commanded his servant Moses to do this, and then Moses had commanded Joshua to do it [Deut. 7:1–6; 20:16–18]. Joshua ·did everything [^Lleft nothing undone that] the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹⁶ So Joshua defeated all the people in the land [^Ca general statement, since not every city was taken; 17:16; Judg. 1]. He had control of the mountains and ·the area of southern Canaan [^Lall the Negev], all the areas of Goshen, the ·western foothills [lowlands; ^LShephelah], and the ·Jordan Valley [or Arabah]. He controlled the ·mountains [hill country] of Israel and ·all the hills near them [or its lowlands/^LShephelah]. ¹⁷ ·Joshua controlled all the land from [^L…from] Mount Halak near ·Edom [^LSeir] to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon, below Mount Hermon. Joshua also captured all the kings in the land and killed them.
