Joshua 11:20 in Context — Joshua 11
18 La guerre que soutint Josué contre tous ces rois fut de longue durée.
19 Il n’y eut aucune ville qui fît la paix avec les enfants d’Israël, excepté Gabaon, habitée par les Héviens; ils les prirent toutes en combattant.
20 Car l’Éternel permit que ces peuples s’obstinassent à faire la guerre contre Israël, afin qu’Israël les dévouât par interdit, sans qu’il y eût pour eux de miséricorde, et qu’il les détruisît, comme l’Éternel l’avait ordonné à Moïse.
21 Dans le même temps, Josué se mit en marche, et il extermina les Anakim de la montagne d’Hébron, de Debir, d’Anab, de toute la montagne de Juda et de toute la montagne d’Israël; Josué les dévoua par interdit, avec leurs villes.
22 Il ne resta point d’Anakim dans le pays des enfants d’Israël; il n’en resta qu’à Gaza, à Gath et à Asdod.
