Joshua 11:13

Joshua 11:13

11 And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, ^autterly destroying them. There was none left ^bbreathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.

12 So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, ^aas Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

13 But as for the cities that stood on their¹ mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.

14 And all the ^aspoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing.

15 ^aAs the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so ^bMoses commanded Joshua, and ^cso Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Joshua 11:12

Joshua 11:14 >>

In their strength - Heb. with their fence, walls or bulwarks, that is, which were not ruined with their walls in taking them. Save Hazor - Because this city began the war, and being the chief and royal city, might renew the war. If the Canaanites should ever seize upon it: which in fact they did, and settled there, under a king of the same name, Judges 4:2.
