10:28 Yehoshua attacks more Amorites

28 Then Yehoshua captured Makkedah that same day. They killed the king and everyone else in the city, leaving no survivors, and Yehoshua did the same to the king of Makkedah as he’d done to the king of Yericho.[fn]

29 Then Yehoshua and all Israel went southwest from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against it. 30 Yahweh also allowed Israel to conquer it and its king, and Yehoshua again killed everyone in the city, leaving no survivors, and he did the same to the king of Libnah as he’d done to the king of Yericho.

31 Then Yehoshua and all Israel went south from Libnah to Lakish, where they took a position against the city and fought against it. 32 On the second day of the battle, Yahweh helped Israel defeat Lakish, and they captured it and killed everyone in the city like they had done to Libnah. 33 King Horam of Gezer arrived to help Lakish, but Yehoshua defeated him and his men, leaving no survivors.

34 Then Yehoshua and the Israelis went west from Lakish to Eglon, where they took a position against the city and fought against it. 35 That day they captured it and killed everyone in the city like they had done to Lakish.

36 Then Yehoshua and the Israelis went west from Eglon up into the hills to Hebron, and fought against it. 37 They captured it and killed the king and everyone in all their towns, leaving no survivors the same as Eglon.

38 Then Yehoshua and and the Israelis went to the city of Debir and fought against it. 39 They captured the city and its king and all their towns, killing everyone and leaving no survivors. They treated Debir and its king just like they had to Libnah and Hebron and their kings.

40 So Yehoshua attacked and conquered the entire region—the hill country and the Negev, the lowlands and the slopes, and all their kings. He didn’t leave any survivors but destroyed everything living, just as Israel’s God Yahweh had commanded. 41 Yehoshua attacked and conquered them from Kadesh-Barnea and as far as Gaza, all the land of Goshen and as far as Gibeon. 42 In one swoop, Yehoshua captured all those kings and their land, because Israel’s God Yahweh had fought for Israel. 43 Then Yehoshua and his warriors returned to their camp at Gilgal.

10:28 We’re not actually given any details about what happened to the king of Yericho.
