00:16 Hello, and welcome to HIS WORDS ARE LIFE.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank your for joining with me today,
00:21 to read the Word of God together.
00:23 Let's pray before we start. Dear Lord, thank you so much
00:27 for your gracious mercy to us. We need you every
00:31 step of our way we want to have ordered by the words
00:34 of this book. Please send your Holy Spirit to open our hearts,
00:38 and to bring wisdom to our lives as we read together.
00:41 We love you and thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:43 We are reading today in the book of Joshua,
00:47 starting in chapter 10, verse 1, This is the King James Version.
00:51 Now it came to pass when, Adonizedec king of Jerusalem
00:57 had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it
01:02 as he had done to Jericho, and her king, so he had done to Ai
01:06 her king and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace
01:09 with Israel, and were among them; that they feared greatly,
01:12 because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities,
01:15 and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof
01:18 were mighty. Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem
01:22 sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth,
01:27 and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon,
01:32 saying, Come up unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon:
01:36 for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children
01:39 of Israel. Therefore the five kings of the Amorites,
01:44 the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth,
01:46 the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves
01:50 together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped
01:54 before Gibeon made war against it.
01:56 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,
02:00 saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
02:04 quickly and save us, and help us: for all the kings
02:08 of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered
02:10 together against us. So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he,
02:14 and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men
02:17 of valor. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not:
02:21 for I have delivered them into thine hand;
02:23 there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
02:26 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly,
02:30 and went up from Gilgal all night.
02:32 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them
02:35 with a great slaughter at Gibeon and chased them
02:39 along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them
02:42 to Azekah, and unto Makkedah. And it came to pass as they fled
02:45 from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron,
02:49 that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them
02:52 unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died
02:57 with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew
03:00 with the sword. Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day
03:04 when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children
03:06 of Israel. And he said in the sight of Israel,
03:09 Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou Moon, in the
03:14 valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed
03:19 until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
03:22 Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
03:24 So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
03:27 and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
03:30 And there was no day like that before it or after it,
03:34 that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man:
03:37 for the Lord fought for Israel.
03:40 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp
03:44 to Gilgal. But these five kings fled, and hid themselves
03:48 in a cave at Makkedah. And it was told Joshua saying,
03:51 The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
03:54 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of
03:59 the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
04:01 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies,
04:04 and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter
04:07 into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them
04:10 into your hand. And it came to pass, when Joshua
04:13 and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them
04:16 with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed,
04:19 that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
04:23 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah
04:27 in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children
04:31 of Israel. Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave,
04:35 and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
04:38 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him
04:42 out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
04:45 the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon,
04:48 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings
04:51 unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel,
04:54 and said unto the captains of the men of war
04:57 which went with him, Come near put your feet upon the necks
05:01 of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet
05:04 upon the necks of them. And Joshua said unto them,
05:07 Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage:
05:12 for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against
05:16 whom ye fight. And afterward Joshua smote them,
05:19 and slew them, and hanged them on five trees:
05:21 and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
05:25 And it came to pass at time of the going down of the sun,
05:28 that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees,
05:31 and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid,
05:35 and laid great stones in the cave's mouth,
05:37 which remain until this very day.
05:39 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it
05:43 with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly
05:46 destroyed, them and all the souls that were therein;
05:49 and he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkeda
05:53 as he did unto the king of Jericho.
05:55 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah and all Israel with him,
05:59 unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
06:02 and the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof,
06:05 into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge
06:07 of the sword, and all the souls that were therein;
06:10 he let none remain in it; but did unto king thereof
06:14 as he did unto the king of Jericho.
06:16 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him,
06:21 unto Lachish, and encamped against it and fought against it
06:24 and the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel,
06:27 which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge
06:30 of the sword, and all the souls that were therein,
06:32 according to all that he had done to Libnah.
06:35 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish:
06:39 and Joshua smote him and his people,
06:41 until he had left him none remaining.
06:44 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel
06:47 with him and they encamped against it and fought against it
06:50 and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of
06:54 the sword and all the souls that were therein
06:56 he utterly destroyed that day, according to all
06:59 that he had done to Lachish.
07:01 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him,
07:05 unto Hebron; and they fought against it: and they took it,
07:08 and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof,
07:10 and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein;
07:13 he left none remaining, according to all that he
07:16 had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly,
07:18 and all the souls that were therein.
07:20 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir;
07:24 and fought against it: and he took it, and the king thereof,
07:27 and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge
07:30 of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls
07:33 that were therein; he left none remaining:
07:35 as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king
07:39 thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
07:43 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills and of the south,
07:47 and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings:
07:50 he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed
07:53 all the breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded.
07:57 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh Barnea even unto Gaza,
08:02 and all the country of Goshen even unto Gibeon.
08:04 and all these kings and their land did Joshua take
08:08 at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
08:12 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him,
08:15 unto the camp to Gilgal.
08:17 We're continuing to read in the book of Joshua,
08:20 chapter 11, and this is the King James version.
08:25 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard
08:29 those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon,
08:32 and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
08:36 and to the kings that were on the north of the mountains,
08:39 and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley,
08:42 and in the borders of Dor on the west, and to the Canaanite
08:46 on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite,
08:49 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite
08:52 in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land
08:55 of Mizpeh. And they went out, they and all their hosts
08:59 with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea
09:02 shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
09:06 And when all these kings were met together,
09:09 they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom,
09:11 to fight against Israel. And the Lord said unto Joshua,
09:15 Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow about this time
09:20 will I deliver them up all slain before Israel:
09:23 thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots
09:26 with fire. So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him,
09:30 against them by the waters of Merom suddenly;
09:33 and they fell upon them. And the Lord delivered them
09:37 into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them
09:40 unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim,
09:44 and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them,
09:48 until they left them none remaining.
09:49 And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him:
09:53 he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
09:57 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor,
10:00 and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime
10:04 was the head of all those kingdoms.
10:05 And they smote all the souls that were therein
10:09 with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them:
10:12 there was not any left to breathe:
10:14 and he burnt Hazor with fire.
10:16 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them
10:19 did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword,
10:22 and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the
10:26 Lord commanded. But as for the cities that stood still
10:30 in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only;
10:34 that did Joshua burn. And all the spoil of these cities,
10:38 and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey
10:40 unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of
10:43 the sword, until they had destroyed them,
10:45 neither left they any to breathe.
10:47 As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses
10:51 command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he left nothing undone
10:54 of all that the Lord commanded Moses.
10:57 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south
11:01 country and all the land of Goshen, and the valley,
11:04 and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley
11:06 of the same; even from the mount Halak that goeth up to Seir,
11:10 even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon:
11:15 and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
11:18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
11:21 There was not a city that made peace with the children
11:24 of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon:
11:26 all other they took in battle.
11:29 For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts,
11:32 that they should come against Israel in battle,
11:34 that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might
11:37 have no favor, but that he might destroy them,
11:40 as the Lord commanded Moses.
11:42 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakins
11:47 from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab,
11:50 and from all the mountains of Judah,
11:52 and from all the mountains of Israel:
11:54 Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
11:57 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children
12:00 of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath and in Ashdod, there remained.
12:05 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord
12:10 said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance
12:14 unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes.
12:17 And the land rested from war.
12:20 We're going to skip now, chapter 12.
12:24 There is a listing of a bunch of the kings and the victories
12:29 that were given to Joshua, and the children of Israel.
12:32 In chapter 13, the first verse, speaks about Joshua being old,
12:37 and stricken in years. And then it goes on again to list
12:42 some of the names of the territories and the cities there
12:46 We're going to pick up in chapter 14.
12:48 This is the King James Version.
12:50 These are the countries with which the children of Israel
12:53 inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest,
12:56 and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers
12:58 of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed
13:01 for inheritance to them. By lot was their inheritance,
13:05 as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the 9 tribes
13:08 and for the half tribe. For Moses had given the inheritance
13:12 of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan:
13:14 But unto the Levites, he gave none inheritance among them.
13:18 For the children of Joseph were two tribes,
13:20 Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part
13:23 unto the Levites in the Land, save cities to dwell in,
13:25 with their suburbs, for their cattle and for their substance.
13:28 As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,
13:31 and they divided the land.
13:33 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal:
13:36 and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him,
13:40 Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses
13:44 the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
13:48 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me
13:52 from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land;
13:55 and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
13:58 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart
14:02 of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God.
14:06 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon
14:11 thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance,
14:13 and thy children's forever, because thou hast wholly
14:16 followed the Lord the Lord my God. And now behold,
14:20 the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these 40 and 5 years,
14:24 even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses,
14:26 while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness:
14:29 and now, lo, I am this day four score and five years old.
