Hosea 3 - Listen
1
Then said
the LORD
unto me, Go
yet, love
a woman
beloved
of her friend,
yet an adulteress,
according to the love
of the LORD
toward the children
of Israel,
who look
to other
gods,
and love
flagons
of wine.
2
So I bought
her to me for fifteen
*
pieces of silver,
and for an homer
of barley,
and an half homer
of barley:
3
And I said
unto her, Thou shalt abide
for me many
days;
thou shalt not play the harlot,
and thou shalt not be
for another man:
4
For the children
of Israel
shall abide
many
days
without a king,
and without a prince,
and without a sacrifice,
and without an image,
and without an ephod,
and without teraphim:
5
Afterward
shall the children
of Israel
return,
and seek
the LORD
their God,
and David
their king;
and shall fear
the LORD
and his goodness
in the latter
days.

Joshua 11 - Listen
1
And it came to pass, when Jabin
king
of Hazor
had heard
those things, that he sent
to Jobab
king
of Madon,
and to the king
of Shimron,
and to the king
of Achshaph,
2
And to the kings
that were on the north
of the mountains,
and of the plains
south
of Chinneroth,
and in the valley,
and in the borders
of Dor
on the west,
3
And to the Canaanite
on the east
and on the west,
and to the Amorite,
and the Hittite,
and the Perizzite,
and the Jebusite
in the mountains,
and to the Hivite
under Hermon
in the land
of Mizpeh.
4
And they went out,
they and all their hosts
with them, much
people,
even as the sand
that is upon the sea
shore
in multitude,
with horses
and chariots
very
many.
5
And when all these kings
were met together,
they came
and pitched
together
at the waters
of Merom,
to fight
against Israel.
6
And the LORD
said
unto Joshua,
Be not afraid
because
of them: for to morrow
about this time
will I deliver them up
all slain
before
Israel:
thou shalt hough
their horses,
and burn
their chariots
with fire.
7
So Joshua
came,
and all the people
of war
with him, against them by the waters
of Merom
suddenly;
and they fell upon
8
And the LORD
delivered
them into the hand
of Israel,
who smote
them, and chased
them unto great
Zidon,
and unto Misrephothmaim,
and unto the valley
of Mizpeh
eastward;
and they smote
them, until they left
them none remaining.
9
And Joshua
did
unto them as the LORD
bade
him: he houghed
their horses,
and burnt
their chariots
with fire.
10
And Joshua
at that time
turned back,
and took
Hazor,
and smote
the king
thereof with the sword:
for Hazor
beforetime
was the head
of all those kingdoms.
11
And they smote
all the souls
that were therein with the edge
of the sword,
utterly destroying
them: there was not any left
to breathe:
and he burnt
Hazor
with fire.
12
And all the cities
of those kings,
and all the kings
of them, did Joshua
take,
and smote
them with the edge
of the sword,
and he utterly destroyed
them, as Moses
the servant
of the LORD
commanded.
13
But as for the cities
that stood
still in their strength,
Israel
burned
none of them, save
Hazor
only; that did Joshua
burn.
14
And all the spoil
of these cities,
and the cattle,
the children
of Israel
took for a prey
unto themselves; but every man
they smote
with the edge
of the sword,
until they had destroyed
them, neither left
they any to breathe.
15
As the LORD
commanded
Moses
his servant,
so did Moses
command
Joshua,
and so did
Joshua;
he left
*
nothing
undone
of all that the LORD
commanded
Moses.
16
So Joshua
took
all that land,
the hills,
and all the south country,
and all the land
of Goshen,
and the valley,
and the plain,
and the mountain
of Israel,
and the valley
17
Even from the mount
Halak,
that goeth up
to Seir,
even unto Baalgad
in the valley
of Lebanon
under mount
Hermon:
and all their kings
he took,
and smote
them, and slew
18
Joshua
made
war
a long
time
with all those kings.
19
There was not a city
that made peace
with the children
of Israel,
save the Hivites
the inhabitants
of Gibeon:
all other they took
in battle.
20
For it was of the LORD
to harden
their hearts,
that they should come against
Israel
in battle,
that he might destroy them utterly,
and that they might have no favour,
but that he might destroy
them, as the LORD
commanded
Moses.
21
And at that time
came
Joshua,
and cut off
the Anakims
from the mountains,
from Hebron,
from Debir,
from Anab,
and from all the mountains
of Judah,
and from all the mountains
of Israel:
Joshua
destroyed them utterly
with their cities.
22
There was none of the Anakims
left
in the land
of the children
of Israel:
only in Gaza,
in Gath,
and in Ashdod,
there remained.
23
So Joshua
took
the whole land,
according to all that the LORD
said
unto Moses;
and Joshua
gave
it for an inheritance
unto Israel
according to their divisions
by their tribes.
And the land
rested
from war.
