Josué 10:37

37 tomaram-na, e a feriram ao fio da espada, bem como ao seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, com todos os que nelas havia. A ninguém deixou com vida, mas, conforme tudo o que fizera a Eglom, a destruiu totalmente, com todos os que nela havia.

Josué 10:37 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:37

And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
and the king thereof
For though the king of Hebron was one of the kings that were taken in the cave of Makkedah, and hanged; yet before Joshua came up to it, they had set up another king over them:

and all the cities thereof;
for Hebron was a metropolitan city, and had other cities dependent on it, and subject to it:

and all the souls that [were] therein;
both in Hebron, and in the cities subject to it:

he left none remaining;
in any of them:

according to all that he had done to Eglon;
the last place he came from:

but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] therein;
but it seems that afterwards some that made their escape before the taking of the city, and other Canaanites driven out of their habitations, repeopled it; so that after Joshua's death it was recovered again by the tribe of Judah, ( Judges 1:10 ) ; unless there is given in that place a more particular account of the taking of this city, with others at this time; but the former seems most likely.

Josué 10:37 In-Context

35 e no mesmo dia a tomaram, ferindo-a a fio de espada; destruiu totalmente nesse mesmo dia todos os que nela estavam, conforme tudo o que fizera a Laquis.

36 De Eglom, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu a Hebrom; pelejaram contra ela,

37 tomaram-na, e a feriram ao fio da espada, bem como ao seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, com todos os que nelas havia. A ninguém deixou com vida, mas, conforme tudo o que fizera a Eglom, a destruiu totalmente, com todos os que nela havia.

38 Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, voltou a Debir, pelejou contra ela,

39 e a tomou com o seu rei e com todas as suas cidades; feriu-as a fio de espada, e a todos os que nelas havia destruiu totalmente, não deixando nem sequer um. Como fizera a Hebrom, e como fizera também a Libna e ao seu rei, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei.
