JOSHUA 10:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.”
Eglon destroyed — They struck it with the edge of the sword and every person in it that day (בַיּוֹם הַהוּא), according to all that he had done to Lachish. The formula is repeated: complete destruction of the city and all its inhabitants. The phrase 'that day' (bayom hahu) emphasizes the speed and decisiveness. The southern campaign accelerates as the chain of victories dispirits Canaanite resistance.
