Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon her own mound, and the palace shall remain according to its usual manner.
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and struck them with the edge of the sword, and he completely destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
And I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant, do you eat.
