So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded.
So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills (note: Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judea), and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
