List of Defeated Kings

12 These are the kings of the land whom the Israelites had defeated and whose territory they took^(A) over east of the Jordan,^(B) from the Arnon^(C) Gorge to Mount Hermon,^(D) including all the eastern side of the Arabah:^(E)

⁶ Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites conquered them.^(W) And Moses the servant of the Lord gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh to be their possession.^(X)

⁷ Here is a list of the kings of the land that Joshua and the Israelites conquered on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon^(Y) to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir. Joshua gave their lands as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel according to their tribal divisions. ⁸ The lands included the hill country, the western foothills, the Arabah, the mountain slopes, the wilderness and the Negev.^(Z) These were the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. These were the kings:^(AA)

Land Still to Be Taken

13 When Joshua had grown old,^(BC) the Lord said to him, “You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.

⁶ “As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,^(BR) that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out^(BS) before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,^{(BT) 7} and divide it as an inheritance^(BU) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

⁸ The other half of Manasseh,^[b] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned^(BV) it to them.^(BW)

¹⁴ But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.^(CM)

¹⁵ This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

²⁴ This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

²⁹ This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

³² This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab^(DX) across the Jordan east of Jericho.^{(DY) 33} But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;^(DZ) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,^(EA) as he promised them.^(EB)

Division of the Land West of the Jordan

14 Now these are the areas the Israelites received as an inheritance^(EC) in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar^(ED) the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel^(EE) allotted^(EF) to them.^{(EG) 2} Their inheritances were assigned by lot^(EH) to the nine and a half tribes,^(EI) as the Lord had commanded through Moses. ³ Moses had granted the two and a half tribes their inheritance east of the Jordan^(EJ) but had not granted the Levites an inheritance among the rest,^{(EK) 4} for Joseph’s descendants had become two tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim.^(EL) The Levites received no share of the land but only towns to live in, with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.^{(EM) 5} So the Israelites divided the land, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.^(EN)
