Josué 10:40 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:40

So Joshua smote all the country of the hills and of the
south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings
That part of the land of Canaan which lay southward, and consisted of hills and vales; which abounded with springs, and was a well watered country, and agrees with the description Moses gives of it, though he never saw it, ( Deuteronomy 8:7 ) ;

he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed;
that is, all human creatures; for as for the cattle, they were spared as a prey:

as the Lord God of Israel commanded;
this law is extant, ( Deuteronomy 20:16 ) ; and which is here observed to clear the Israelites from the charge of cruelty and inhumanity; since what they did was not of themselves, nor from a private spirit of revenge, nor a greedy desire after the substance of the inhabitants; but in obedience to the command of God, and who ordered this as a righteous punishment of those people for their gross abominations of idolatry, incest see ( Leviticus 18:1-30 ) .

Josué 10:40 In-Context

38 Despu茅s Josu茅, y todo Israel con 茅l, se volvi贸 contra Debir y pele贸 contra ella.
39 La conquist贸, con su rey y todas sus ciudades, hiri茅ndolas a filo de espada; y destruy贸 por completo a todas las personas que hab铆a en ella. No dej贸 sobreviviente alguno. Como hab铆a hecho con Hebr贸n, y como hab铆a hecho tambi茅n con Libna y su rey, as铆 hizo con Debir y su rey.
40 Hiri贸, pues, Josu茅 toda la tierra: la regi贸n monta帽osa, el Neguev , la tierra baja y las laderas, y a todos sus reyes. No dej贸 ning煤n sobreviviente, sino que destruy贸 por completo a todo el que ten铆a vida, tal como el SE脩OR, Dios de Israel, hab铆a mandado.
41 Josu茅 los hiri贸 desde Cades-barnea hasta Gaza, y todo el territorio de Gos茅n hasta Gaba贸n.
42 A todos estos reyes y sus territorios los captur贸 Josu茅 de una vez, porque el SE脩OR, Dios de Israel, combat铆a por Israel.
