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 God, your God, will get rid of these nations, bit by bit. You won't be permitted to wipe them out all at once lest the wild animals take over and overwhelm you.
23 But God, your God, will move them out of your way - he'll throw them into a huge panic until there's nothing left of them.
24 He'll turn their kings over to you and you'll remove all trace of them under Heaven. Not one person will be able to stand up to you; you'll put an end to them all.
25 Make sure you set fire to their carved gods. Don't get greedy for the veneer of silver and gold on them and take it for yourselves - you'll get trapped by it for sure. God hates it; it's an abomination to God, your God.
26 And don't dare bring one of these abominations home or you'll end up just like it, burned up as a holy destruction. No: It is forbidden! Hate it. Abominate it. Destroy it and preserve God's holiness.
