Joshua 11:1-12:24 1 When King Jabin of Hazor
heard the news, he organized a coalition, including
King Jobab of Madon, the king of Shimron, the king of Acshaph,
2 and the northern kings who ruled in
the hill country, the Arabah south of Kinnereth,
the lowlands, and the heights of Dor to the west.
3 Canaanites came
from the east and west; Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites from the hill country; and Hivites from below Hermon in the area
of Mizpah.
4 These kings came out with their armies; they were as numerous as the sand on the seashore and had a large number of horses and chariots.
5 All these kings gathered and joined forces
at the Waters of Merom to fight Israel.
6 The
Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for about this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to lie dead before Israel. You must hamstring their horses and burn
their chariots.”
7 Joshua and his whole army caught them by surprise at the Waters of Merom and attacked them.
8 The
Lord handed them over to Israel and they struck them down and chased them all the way to Greater Sidon,
Misrephoth Maim,
and the Mizpah Valley to the east. They struck them down until no survivors remained.
9 Joshua did to them as the
Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned
their chariots.
10 At that time Joshua turned, captured Hazor,
and struck down its king with the sword, for Hazor was at that time
the leader of all these kingdoms.
11 They annihilated everyone who lived there with the sword
– no one who breathed remained – and burned
Hazor.
12 Joshua captured all these royal cities and all their kings and annihilated them with the sword,
as Moses the
Lord’s servant had commanded.
13 But Israel did not burn any of the cities located on mounds,
except for Hazor;
it was the only one Joshua burned.
14 The Israelites plundered all the goods of these cities and the cattle, but they totally destroyed all the people
and allowed no one who breathed to live.
15 Moses the
Lord’s servant passed on the
Lord’s commands to Joshua, and Joshua did as he was told. He did not ignore any of the commands the
Lord had given Moses.
16 Joshua conquered the whole land,
including the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowlands,
the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowlands,
17 from Mount Halak on up to Seir, as far as Baal Gad in the Lebanon Valley below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and executed them.
18 Joshua campaigned against
these kings for quite some time.
19 No city made peace with the Israelites (except the Hivites living in Gibeon);
they had to conquer all of them,
20 for the
Lord determined to make them obstinate so they would attack Israel. He wanted Israel to annihilate them without mercy, as he had instructed Moses.
21 At that time Joshua attacked and eliminated the Anakites from the hill country
– from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel.
Joshua annihilated them and their cities.
22 No Anakites were left in Israelite territory, though some remained in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
23 Joshua conquered
the whole land, just as the
Lord had promised Moses,
and he assigned Israel their tribal portions.
Then the land was free of war.
1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites defeated and drove from their land
on the east side of the Jordan,
from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern Arabah:
2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived
in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) – including the city in the middle of the valley
and half of Gilead – all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory.
3 His kingdom included
the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Kinnereth
to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea),
including the route to Beth Jeshimoth and the area southward below the slopes of Pisgah.
4 The territory of King Og of Bashan, one of the few remaining Rephaites,
who lived
in Ashtaroth and Edrei
5 and ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all of Bashan to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and half of Gilead as far as the border of King Sihon of Heshbon.
6 Moses the
Lord’s servant and the Israelites defeated them and Moses the
Lord’s servant assigned their land
to Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
7 These are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the Israelites defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Lebanon Valley to Mount Halak on up to Seir. Joshua assigned this territory to the Israelite tribes,
8 including the hill country, the lowlands,
the Arabah, the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negev – the land of
the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites:
9 the king of Jericho
(one), the king of Ai – located near Bethel – (one),
10 the king of Jerusalem
(one), the king of Hebron (one),
11 the king of Jarmuth (one), the king of Lachish (one),
12 the king of Eglon (one), the king of Gezer (one),
13 the king of Debir (one), the king of Geder (one),
14 the king of Hormah (one), the king of Arad (one),
15 the king of Libnah (one), the king of Adullam (one),
16 the king of Makkedah (one), the king of Bethel
(one),
17 the king of Tappuah (one), the king of Hepher (one),
18 the king of Aphek (one), the king of Lasharon (one),
19 the king of Madon (one), the king of Hazor
(one),
20 the king of Shimron Meron (one), the king of Acshaph (one),
21 the king of Taanach (one), the king of Megiddo
(one),
22 the king of Kedesh (one), the king of Jokneam near Carmel (one),
23 the king of Dor – near Naphath Dor – (one), the king of Goyim – near Gilgal – (one),
24 the king of Tirzah (one), a total of thirty-one kings.
Context (NET) Luke 17:11-37 11 Now on
the way to Jerusalem,
Jesus
was passing along
between Samaria and Galilee.
12 As
he was entering
a village, ten men with leprosy
met him. They
stood at a distance,
13 raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy
on us.”
14 When
he saw them he said, “Go
and show yourselves to the priests.”
And
as they went along, they were cleansed.
15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising
God with a loud voice.
16 He
fell with his face to the ground
at Jesus’ feet and thanked him.
(Now
he was a Samaritan.)
17 Then
Jesus said,
“Were
not ten cleansed? Where are the other
nine?
18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
19 Then
he said to the man,
“Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.”
20 Now at one point
the Pharisees
asked Jesus
when the kingdom of God
was coming, so he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs
to be observed,
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is
in your midst.”
22 Then
he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days
of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 Then people
will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’
or ‘Look, here he is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
24 For just like the lightning flashes
and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 But first he must
suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 Just
as it was
in the days of Noah,
so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 People
were eating,
they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then
the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise, just as it was
in the days of Lot, people
were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 On that day, anyone who is on the roof,
with his goods in the house, must not come down
to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must not turn back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
33 Whoever tries to keep
his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life
will preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
35 There will be two women grinding grain together;
one will be taken and the other left.”

37 Then
the disciples
said
to him, “Where,
Lord?” He replied to them, “Where the dead body
is, there the vultures
will gather.”
Context (NET) Psalm 84:1-12 1 For the music director; according to the
gittith style;
written by the Korahites, a psalm. How lovely is the place where you live,
O
Lord who rules over all!
2 I desperately want to be
in the courts of the
Lord’s temple.
My heart and my entire being
shout for joy to the living God.
3 Even the birds find a home there, and the swallow
builds a nest, where she can protect her young
near your altars, O
Lord who rules over all, my king and my God.
4 How blessed
are those who live in your temple and praise you continually! (Selah)
5 How blessed are those who
find their strength in you, and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple!
6 As they pass through the Baca Valley,
he provides a spring for them.
The rain
even covers it with pools of water.
7 They are sustained as they travel along;
each one appears
before God in Zion.
8 O
Lord, sovereign God,
hear my prayer! Listen, O God of Jacob! (Selah)
9 O God, take notice of our shield!
Show concern for your chosen king!
10 Certainly
spending just one day in your temple courts is better than spending a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather stand at the entrance
to the temple of my God than live
in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the
Lord God is our sovereign protector.
The
Lord bestows favor
and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
12 O
Lord who rules over all,
how blessed are those who trust in you!
Context (NET) Proverbs 13:5-6 5 The righteous person hates anything false,
but the wicked person acts in shameful disgrace.
6 Righteousness
guards the one who lives with integrity,
but wickedness
overthrows the sinner.
