And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 10 of Joshua. The campaign continues against Makkedah and Libnah. The cities are defeated according to the established narrative pattern: attack, surrender of the city, and destruction of its inhabitants. The repetition communicates the progressive expansion of the southern conquest. Rather than describing every battle in strategic detail, the narrator focuses on the theological formula that the Lord gave the cities into Israel’s hands.

Und der HERR gab Lachis auch in die Hände Israels, daß sie des andern Tages gewannen und schlugen es mit der Schärfe des Schwerts und alle Seelen, die darin waren, allerdinge wie sie Libna getan hatten.
Y Jehová entregó a Lachîs en mano de Israel, y tomola al día siguiente, y metiola a cuchillo, con todo lo que en ella había vivo, como había hecho en Libna.
L'Eternel livra Lakis entre les mains d'Israël, qui la prit le second jour, et la frappa du tranchant de l'épée, elle et tous ceux qui s'y trouvaient, comme il avait traité Libna.
E il Signore diede Lachis nelle mani d’Israele, ed egli la prese al secondo giorno, e la mise a fil di spada, con tutte le anime ch’erano dentro, interamente come avea fatto a Libna.
E o SENHOR deu a Laquis nas mãos de Israel, e tomou-a no dia seguinte e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela e a todos os que nela estavam, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Libna.
耶和華將 拉吉 交在 以色列 人的手裏。第二日 約書亞 就奪了 拉吉 ,用刀擊殺了城中所有的人,正如他向 立拿 一切所做的。
