And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein. Smote ... the king thereof - i:e., of Hebron. In Joshua 10:23 it is related that the king of Hebron had fallen in battle. The people had elected a successor, whose short-lived reign is noticed, he being killed in the general overthow of Hebron and its dependencies.
