Joshua 10:30

And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel ,.... At once, no opposition being made that we read of:

and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, he let none remain in it ; that is, Israel smote it, or Joshua, and indeed both; and this was according to the orders given them to be observed with respect to all the cities and nations of Canaan; and that because of their abominable sins and wickedness, and to make way and room for the people of Israel, Deuteronomy 7:1 ,

but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho : slew him with the inhabitants.
