Joshua

Joshua 11:19–20

¹⁹No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle. ²⁰For it was of the LORD to harden^d their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.
