Joshua 11:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² Joshua captured all of these cities, ·killed [^Lstruck with the edge of the sword] all of their kings, and ·completely destroyed [devoted to destruction; v. 11] everything in these cities. He did this just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded. ¹³ But the Israelites did not burn any cities that were built on their mounds [^Cso Israel could immediately occupy these strategically important cities; Deut. 6:10–11], except Hazor; only that city was burned by Joshua. ¹⁴ The ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel kept for themselves ·everything [the plunder/spoil] they found in the cities, including all the animals. But they ·killed [^Lstruck with the edge of the sword] all the people there; they left no one ·alive [^Lthat breathed].
