17 because you should without fail devote them to destruction, the Hitʹtites and the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites and the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites and the Jebʹu·sites,+ just as Jehovah your God has commanded you;
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.
