Cities and spoil

12Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them down with the edge of the sword. He devoted them to destruction, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded.

13But Israel did not burn any of the cities that stood on their mounds, except Hazor alone; Joshua burned it.

14And all the spoil of these cities, along with the livestock, the sons of Israel plundered for themselves; only all the people they struck with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them. They left no breathing thing.

15Just as Yahweh had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
