Joshua 10:20

The Victory at Makkedah

19But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”20So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.21The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
