Deuteronomy 7:24

24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their name from under heaven; none of them will be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.

Deuteronomy 7:24 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:24

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand
Who were very numerous, for though there were but seven nations, there were more kings, even one and thirty, ( Joshua 12:9-24 ) ,

thou shall destroy their name from under heaven;
not only destroy the name of the reigning kings, so as that they should not be remembered and made mention of any more, but put an end to the name and race of kings among them, so that they should never have any more, as they never had:

there shall no man be able to stand before thee,
until thou have destroyed them; the nations and their kings.

Deuteronomy 7:24 In-Context

22 ADONAI your God will expel those nations ahead of you little by little; you can't put an end to them all at once, or the wild animals will become too numerous for you.
23 Nevertheless, ADONAI your God will give them over to you, sending one disaster after another upon them until they have been destroyed.
24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their name from under heaven; none of them will be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.
25 You are to burn up completely the carved statues of their gods. Don't be greedy for the silver or gold on them; don't take it with you, or you will be trapped by it; for it is abhorrent to ADONAI your God.
26 Don't bring something abhorrent into your house, or you will share in the curse that is on it; instead, you are to detest it completely, loathe it utterly; for it is set apart for destruction.
