Joshua 11:20

For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

KJV

Domini enim sententia fuerat, ut indurarentur corda eorum, et pugnarent contra Israël, et caderent, et non mererentur ullam clementiam, ac perirent, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

Vulgate

ὅτι διὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο κατισχῦσαι αὐτῶν τὴν καρδίαν συναντᾷν εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἵνα ἐξολεθρευθῶσιν, ὅπως μὴ δοθῇ αὐτοῖς ἔλεος ἀλλ’ ἵνα ἐξολεθρευθῶσιν ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν.

LXX

For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
