“And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.”
And he shall deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under heaven; there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them; -- the comprehensive victory: kings are captured, names are erased (damnatio memoriae), and military resistance collapses. Total conquest means total elimination of Canaanite political existence.
