Bible Quote for January 6

Know God, No Peace

So Joshua conquered the entire region – the hill country, the Negev, the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, and the mountains and lowlands of Israel.  The Israelite territory now extended all the way from Mount Halak, which leads up to Seir, to Baal-gad at the foot of Mount Hermon in the valley of Lebanon.  Joshua killed all the kings of those territories, waging war for a long time to accomplish this.  No one in this region made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites of Gibeon. All the others were defeated.  For the LORD hardened their hearts and caused them to fight the Israelites instead of asking for peace.  So they were completely and mercilessly destroyed, as the LORD had commanded Moses.  (Joshua 11:16-20 NLT)
