Joshua 10:39

Compare all

37 And they took it and struck it with the edge of the sword—its king, all its cities, and all the people who were in it; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon, but utterly destroyed it and all the people who were in it.

38 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to ^aDebir; and they fought against it.

39 And he took it and its king and all its cities; they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the people who were in it. He left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had done also to Libnah and its king.

40 So Joshua conquered all the land: the ^amountain country and the South and the lowland and the wilderness slopes, and ^ball their kings; he left none remaining, but ^cutterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.

41 And Joshua conquered them from ^aKadesh Barnea as far as ^bGaza, ^cand all the country of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon.

Joshua 10:39

Destroyed all the souls - vaiyacharimu eth col nephesh , they brought every person under an anathema; they either slew them or reduced them to a state of slavery. Is it reasonable to say those were slain who were found in arms, of the others they made slaves?
