The killing of famous kings extends the conquest account, emphasizing the decisiveness and comprehensiveness of God's judgment. Fame suggests reputation and seeming strength; yet even renowned military leaders fall before God's judgment. The doubling of great/famous kings creates emphasis on the divine power to overcome even the most formidable opposition. This verse demonstrates that human fame and power are irrelevant before God's determination to fulfill His purposes for His people.
