THE GREAT TRIBULATION
Study Bible
I will give you every place where you set your foot,
as I promised Moses.
Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon,
and from the great river, the Euphrates—
all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea on the west.
No one will be able to stand up against you
all the days of your life.
Joshua 1:3-5

------------------------
Your wives, your children and your livestock
may stay in the land that Moses gave you
east of the Jordan,
but all your fighting men, fully armed,
must cross over ahead of your brothers.
You are to help your brothers until the Lord gives them rest,
as he has done for you,
and until they too have taken possession of the land
that the Lord your God is giving them.
Joshua 1:14-15

Now when Joshua was near Jericho,
he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him
with a drawn sword in his hand.
Joshua went up to him and asked,
“Are you for us or for our enemies?”
“Neither,” he replied,
“but as commander of the army of the Lord
I have now come.”
Joshua 5:13-14

When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted,
and at the sound of the trumpet,
when the people gave a loud shout,
the wall collapsed;
so every man charged straight in,
and they took the city.
They devoted the city to the Lord
and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—
men and women, young and old,
cattle, sheep and donkeys.
Joshua 6:20-21

For when Joshua and all Israel
saw that the ambush had taken the city
and that smoke was going up from the city,
they turned around and attacked the men of Ai.
The men of the ambush also came out of the city against them,
so that they were caught in the middle,
with Israelites on both sides.
Israel cut them down, leaving them neither survivors nor fugitives.
Joshua 8:21-22

When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai
in the fields and in the desert where they had chased them,
and when every one of them had been put to the sword,
all the Israelites returned to Ai and killed those who were in it.
Twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
For Joshua did not draw back the hand that held out his javelin
until he had destroyed all who lived in Ai.
Joshua 8:24-26

So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins,
a desolate place to this day.
He hung the king of Ai on a tree and left him there until evening.
At sunset, Joshua ordered them to take his body from the tree
and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate.
And they raised a large pile of rocks over it, which remains to this day.
Joshua 8:28-29

That day Joshua took Makkedah.
He put the city and its king to the sword
and totally destroyed everyone in it.
He left no survivors.
Joshua 10:28

Then Joshua and all Israel with him
moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked it.
The Lord also gave that city and its king into Israel’s hand.
The city and everyone in it Joshua put to the sword.
He left no survivors there.
Joshua 10:29-30

Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on
from Libnah to Lachish;
he took up positions against it and attacked it.
The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel,
and Joshua took it on the second day.
The city and everyone in it he put to the sword,
just as he had done to Libnah.
Meanwhile, Horam king of Gezer had come up to help Lachish,
but Joshua defeated him and his army—
until no survivors were left.
Joshua 10:31-33

Then Joshua and all Israel with him
moved on from Lachish to Eglon;
they took up positions against it and attacked it.
They captured it that same day and put it to the sword
and totally destroyed everyone in it,
just as they had done to Lachish.
Joshua 10:34-35

Then Joshua and all Israel with him
went up from Eglon to Hebron and attacked it.
They took the city and put it to the sword,
together with its king, its villages and everyone in it.
They left no survivors.
Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.
Joshua 10:36-37

Then Joshua and all Israel with him
turned around and attacked Debir.
They took the city, its king and its villages,
and put them to the sword.
Everyone in it they totally destroyed.
They left no survivors.
Joshua 10:38-39

So Joshua subdued the whole region,
including the hill country, the Negev,
the western foothills and the mountain slopes,
together with all their kings.
He left no survivors.
He totally destroyed all who breathed,
just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Joshua 10:40

Joshua subdued them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza
and from the whole region of Goshen to Gibeon.
All these kings and their lands
Joshua conquered in one campaign,
because the Lord, the God of Israel,
fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:41-42

When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this,
he sent word to Jobab king of Madon,
to the kings of Shimron and Acshaph,
and to the northern kings who were in the mountains,
in the Arabah south of Kinnereth,
in the western foothills and in Naphoth Dor on the west;
to the Canaanites in the east and west;
to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites and Jebusites in the hill country;
and to the Hivites below Hermon in the region of Mizpah.
They came out with all their troops
and a large number of horses and chariots—
a huge army, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.
All these kings joined forces
and made camp together at the Waters of Merom,
to fight against Israel.
Joshua 11:1-5

The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them,
because by this time tomorrow
I will hand all of them over to Israel, slain.
You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”
So Joshua and his whole army came against them suddenly
at the Waters of Merom and attacked them,
and the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel.
They defeated them and pursued them
all the way to Greater Sidon, to Misrephoth Maim,
and to the Valley of Mizpah on the east,
until no survivors were left.
Joshua 11:6-8

At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor
and put its king to the sword.
(Hazor had been the head of all these kingdoms.)
Everyone in it they put to the sword.
They totally destroyed them,
not sparing anything that breathed,
and he burned up Hazor itself.
Joshua took all these royal cities and their kings
and put them to the sword.
He totally destroyed them,
as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.
Joshua 11:10-12

The Israelites carried off for themselves
all the plunder and livestock of these cities,
but all the people they put to the sword
until they completely destroyed them,
not sparing anyone that breathed.
Joshua 11:14

So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country,
all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen,
the western foothills, the Arabah
and the mountains of Israel with their foothills,
from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir,
to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon.
He captured all their kings and struck them down,
putting them to death.
Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time.
Joshua 11:16-18

For it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts
to wage war against Israel,
so that he might destroy them totally,
exterminating them without mercy,
as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:20

At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites
from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir and Anab,
from all the hill country of Judah,
and from all the hill country of Israel.
Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns.
Joshua 11:21

David said to the Philistine,
“You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,
but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty,
the God of the armies of Israel,
whom you have defied.”
1Samuel 17:45

“This day the Lord will hand you over to me,
and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head.
Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army
to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth,
and the whole world will know
that there is a God in Israel.”
1Samuel 17:46

“All those gathered here will know
that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves;
for the battle is the Lord's,
and he will give all of you into our hands.”
1Samuel 17:47

As the Philistine moved closer to attack him,
David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone,
he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead.
The stone sank into his forehead,
and he fell facedown on the ground.
So David triumphed over the Philistine
with a sling and a stone;
without a sword in his hand
he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
1Samuel 17:48-50

David ran and stood over him.
He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the scabbard.
After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead,
they turned and ran.
Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout
and pursued the Philistines
to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron.
Their dead were strewn
along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
