Hebron besieged and conquered — Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron; and they fought against it and took it and struck it with the edge of the sword and its king and all its cities and every person in it. Hebron, one of the five original kings' cities and a major Canaanite stronghold, is conquered. The phrase 'all its cities' indicates that Hebron controlled a network of subsidiary settlements, all of which are subjected to the ban.
