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 And Yahweh your God will clear away these nations {from before you} little by little; you will not be able to finish them off quickly, {lest} the {wild animals} {multiply} {against you}.

23 But Yahweh your God will {give them to you}, and he will throw them into great panic {until they are destroyed}.

24 And he will give their kings into your hand, and you shall blot out their names from under the heaven; anyone will not [be able to] stand {against you} {until you destroy them}.

25 You shall burn the images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet [the] silver or gold [that is] on them, and [so] you take [it] for yourself, so that you are not ensnared by it, for it [is] a detestable thing to Yahweh your God.

26 And you must not bring a detestable thing into your house, or you will become a thing devoted to destruction like it; you must utterly detest it, and you must utterly abhor it, for it [is] [an] object devoted to destruction.
