Joshua 11:14 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:14

And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves
The gold, silver, household goods, corn, wine, oil, or any mercantile goods, together with cattle of every sort, all were taken by them for a prey, for their own use and benefit, which was allowed them:

but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had
destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe;
for which they had warrant so to do from the Lord, as follows.

Joshua 11:14 In-Context

12 Joshua slaughtered all the other kings and their people, completely destroying them, just as Moses, the servant of the LORD, had commanded.

13 But the Israelites did not burn any of the towns built on mounds except Hazor, which Joshua burned.

14 And the Israelites took all the plunder and livestock of the ravaged towns for themselves. But they killed all the people, leaving no survivors.

15 As the LORD had commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. And Joshua did as he was told, carefully obeying all the commands that the LORD had given to Moses.

16 So Joshua conquered the entire region—the hill country, the entire Negev, the whole area around the town of Goshen, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountains of Israel, and the Galilean foothills.
