17 And the city must become a thing devoted to destruction;*+ it with everything that is in it belongs to Jehovah. Only Raʹhab+ the prostitute may keep on living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent out.+

28 And Joshua captured Mak·keʹdah+ on that day and went striking it with the edge of the sword. As for its king, he devoted him and every soul* that was in it to destruction.+ He let no survivor remain. So he did to the king of Mak·keʹdah+ just as he had done to the king of Jerʹi·cho.

11 And they* went striking every soul that was in it with the edge of the sword, devoting [them] to destruction.*+ No breathing thing at all was left over,+ and he burned Haʹzor in the fire.
