Joshua 10:38-40
Expanded Bible
38 Then Joshua and the Israelites went back to Debir and attacked it. 39 They captured that city, its king, and all the little towns near it, ·completely destroying [L striking with the edge of the sword and devoting to destruction; 10:37] everyone in Debir as an offering to the Lord; no one was left alive there. Israel did to Debir and its king just as they had done to Libnah and its king, just as they had done to Hebron.
40 So Joshua ·defeated [L struck down] ·all the kings of the cities of these areas [L the whole region/land]: the ·mountains [hill country], ·southern Canaan [L the Negev], the ·western foothills [lowlands; L Shephelah], and the slopes [L and all their kings]. The Lord, the God of Israel, had ·told [commanded] Joshua to ·completely destroy [devote to destruction; 2:10; 6:17] all ·the people [L that breathed] as an offering to the Lord, so he left no one alive in those places.
