And when the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall deliver H5414 them before H6440 you; you shall smite H5221 them, and utterly destroy H2763 them; you shall make H3772 no H3808 covenant H1285 with them, nor H3808 show mercy H2603 to them:

Neither H3808 shall you bring H935 an abomination H8441 into H413 your house, H1004 lest you be a cursed H2764 thing like H3644 it: but you shall utterly detest H8262 it, and you shall utterly abhor H8581 it; for it is a cursed H2764 thing.

But of the cities H5892 of these H428 people, H5971 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 does give H5414 you for an inheritance, H5159 you shall save H2421 alive H2421 nothing H3808 H3605 that breathes: H5397

That they teach H3925 you not to do H6213 after all H3605 their abominations, H8441 which H834 they have done to their gods; H430 so should you sin H2398 against the LORD H3068 your God. H430

Notwithstanding H389 no H3605 H3808 devoted H2764 thing, that a man H376 shall devote H2763 to the LORD H3068 of all H3605 that he has, both of man H120 and beast, H929 and of the field H7704 of his possession, H272 shall be sold H4376 or redeemed: H1350 every H3605 devoted H2764 thing is most H6944 holy H6944 to the LORD. H3068

None H3606 H3808 devoted, H2764 which H834 shall be devoted H2763 of men, H120 shall be redeemed; H6299 but shall surely be put to death. H4191

And Israel H3478 vowed H5087 a vow H5088 to the LORD, H3068 and said, H559 If H518 you will indeed H389 deliver H5414 this H2088 people H5971 into my hand, H3027 then I will utterly destroy H2763 their cities. H5892

And the LORD H3068 listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of Israel, H3478 and delivered H5414 up the Canaanites; H3669 and they utterly destroyed H2763 them and their cities: H5892 and he called H7121 the name H8034 of the place H4725 Hormah. H2767

Israel H3478 has sinned, H2398 and they have also H1571 transgressed H5674 my covenant H1285 which H834 I commanded H6680 them: for they have even H1571 taken H3947 of the accursed H2764 thing, and have also H1571 stolen, H1589 and dissembled H3584 also, H1571 and they have put H7760 it even H1571 among their own stuff. H3627

And so it was, that all H3605 that fell H5307 that day, H3117 both of men H376 and women, H802 were twelve H8147 H6240 thousand, H505 even all H3605 the men H582 of Ai. H5857

For Joshua H3091 drew H7725 not his hand H3027 back, H7725 with which H834 he stretched H5186 out the spear, H3591 until H5704 he had utterly destroyed H2763 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Ai. H5857

And they answered H6030 Joshua, H3091 and said, H559 Because H3588 it was certainly told H5046 your servants, H5650 how that the LORD H3068 your God H430 commanded H6680 his servant H5650 Moses H4872 to give H5414 you all H3605 the land, H776 and to destroy H8045 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 from before H6440 you, therefore we were sore H3966 afraid H3372 of our lives H5315 because H6440 of you, and have done H6213 this H2088 thing. H1697

And all H3605 the spoil H7998 of these H428 cities, H5892 and the cattle, H929 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 took for a prey H962 to themselves; H1992 but every H3605 man H120 they smote H5221 with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 until H5704 they had destroyed H8045 them, neither H3808 left H7604 they any H3605 to breathe. H5397

Now H6258 go H3212 and smite H5221 Amalek, H6002 and utterly destroy H2763 all H3605 that they have, and spare H2550 them not; but slay H4191 both man H376 and woman, H802 infant H5768 and suckling, H3243 ox H7794 and sheep, H7716 camel H1581 and ass. H2543

And he took H8610 Agag H90 the king H4428 of the Amalekites H6003 alive, H2416 and utterly destroyed H2763 all H3605 the people H5971 with the edge H6310 of the sword. H2719

But Saul H7586 and the people H5971 spared H2550 Agag, H90 and the best H4315 of the sheep, H6629 and of the oxen, H1241 and of the fatted calves, H4932 and the lambs, H3733 and all H3605 that was good, H2896 and would H14 not utterly destroy H2763 them: but every H3605 thing H4399 that was vile H5240 and refuse, H4549 that they destroyed H2763 utterly.
