JOSHUA 10:39 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.”
Debir conquered — He took it, and its king, and all its cities; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed every person in it (וַיַּחֲרֵם אֶת־כָּל־נַפְשׁוֹ לֹא־הִשְׁאִיר שָׂרִיד). Debir, the last holdout, is subjugated with the same totality as the others. The repetition of 'every person' (kol-nafsho) emphasizes the completeness of the ban. Joshua's campaign through Debir concludes the destruction of the five-king coalition.
