And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
Capturó la ciudad, su rey y todas las aldeas cercanas. Mataron a todos a espada y destruyeron completamente a toda la gente que vivía allí, sin dejar sobrevivientes. Hizo con Debir y su rey exactamente lo mismo que había hecho con Hebrón, y lo mismo que había hecho con Libna y su rey.
Josué conquistó y destruyó completamente Debir tal como había hecho con las otras ciudades.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites were carrying out God's command to conquer the Promised Land of Canaan after their exodus from Egypt, as part of fulfilling the covenant He made with Abraham. This involved fierce battles where cities were destroyed to eliminate the influence of pagan cultures that practiced idolatry and child sacrifice, reflecting divine judgment on their wickedness. Joshua 10:39 specifically recounts the capture and destruction of Debir and its king, mirroring the pattern of previous conquests like Hebron and Libnah.
