And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Capturaron la ciudad ese mismo día y la atacaron a espada, destruyendo completamente a todos los que vivían allí, tal como Josué había hecho con Laquis.
Josué y su ejército capturaron y destruyeron completamente otra ciudad, siguiendo el mismo patrón que habían usado en Laquis.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of Joshua's southern campaign to conquer the Promised Land around 1400-1200 BC. The Israelites were systematically capturing Canaanite cities as they established themselves in the land God had promised to Abraham's descendants. This was considered a holy war where complete destruction was commanded to prevent the Israelites from being influenced by pagan religious practices.
