יהושע, פרק י׳, פסוק ל״ב

The military campaign brings the Israelites to the city of Lachish, where they achieve an absolute victory. God hands the city directly into their power, leading to the complete defeat of its people. Just as they had done in the previous battle at the city of Libnah, the Israelites strike down all the inhabitants with the sword.

The capture of Lachish follows a brief but specific timeline. The completion of the conquest occurs on the second day, which marks exactly the second day since the Israelites first set up their camp and began their siege against the city [רד״ק].
