And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
Capturaron la ciudad y la destruyeron completamente con la espada, junto con su rey y todas las aldeas de los alrededores, y toda persona que vivía allí. Josué no dejó sobrevivientes, tal como había hecho con Eglón. Destruyó completamente la ciudad y todos los que estaban en ella.
Josué conquistó y destruyó completamente la ciudad con su rey y habitantes, sin dejar sobrevivientes.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites were commanded by God to conquer the land of Canaan as part of His promise to Abraham, which involved driving out the inhabitants due to their idolatry and wickedness. This specific verse describes the capture and total destruction of the city of Lachish by Joshua's forces, mirroring their actions at nearby Eglon, as a fulfillment of divine judgment in the context of ancient Near Eastern warfare. It reflects the brutal norms of that era, where complete annihilation was sometimes ordered to prevent idolatry from influencing God's people.
