Joshua 11:18-23

Joshua waged war with all those kings over a long period. Apart from the Hivites living in Gibeon, not one city made peace with Israel. By the power of YAHWEH, Joshua conquered them all. YAHWEH himself hardened their hearts and made them obstinate so they would attack Israel. YAHWEH had determined to wipe them out and condemn them to destruction without mercy, just as he had commanded Moses. Joshua also drove out the Anakim, a race of giants, from the hill country (including the cities of Hebron, Debir, and Anab)—from the entire hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua destroyed the Anakim and their towns so that there were no surviving Anakim in Israelite territory. Some survived but only in the Philistine cities of Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. Joshua conquered the whole land, just as YAHWEH had promised Moses. Joshua assigned portions of the land to each of the tribes of Israel, and the Israelites lived in peace throughout the land.
