06:024:024 And the people said unto Joshua, The lord
our God will we
serve,
and his voice will we obey.
06:024:025 So Joshua made a covenant with the people
that day, and set
them
a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
06:024:026 And Joshua wrote these words in the book
of the law of God,
and
took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak,
that
was
by the sanctuary of the lord.
06:024:027 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold,
this stone shall
be
a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words
of the
lord
which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore
a witness
unto
you, lest ye deny your God.
06:024:028 So Joshua let the people depart, every
man unto his
inheritance.
06:024:029 And it came to pass after these things,
that Joshua the son of
Nun,
the servant of the lord, died, being an hundred
and ten
years
old.
06:024:030 And they buried him in the border of his
inheritance in
Timnathserah,
which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of
the
hill of Gaash.
06:024:031 And Israel served the lord all the
days of Joshua, and all the
days
of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had
known
all
the works of the lord, that he had done for Israel.
06:024:032 And the bones of Joseph, which the children
of Israel brought
up
out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of
ground
which
Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem
for
an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the
inheritance
of
the children of Joseph.
06:024:033 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and
they buried him in a
hill
that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given
him
in
mount Ephraim.
Book 07 Judges
07:001:001 Now after the death of Joshua it came to
pass, that the
children
of Israel asked the lord, saying, Who shall go
up for
us
against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
07:001:002 And the lord said, Judah shall go
up: behold, I have delivered
the
land into his hand.
07:001:003 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother,
Come up with me into
my
lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and
I
likewise
will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went
with
him.
07:001:004 And Judah went up; and the lord delivered
the Canaanites and
the
Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them
in Bezek
ten
thousand men.
07:001:005 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek:
and they fought against
him,
and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
