And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.

Verse 39 is found in chapter 10 of Joshua. Israel advances against Lachish, Eglon, Hebron, and Debir. The rapid succession of cities demonstrates the breadth of the southern campaign. Hebron and Debir would later become important in the territorial allotment, so these conquests prepare for the later description of Judah’s inheritance. The text maintains the perspective that the military campaigns form part of the progressive fulfillment of the territorial promise given to Israel.

und gewann es samt seinem König und alle seine Städte; und schlugen es mit der Schärfe des Schwerts und verbannten alle Seelen, die darin waren, und ließ niemand übrigbleiben. Wie er Hebron getan hatte, so tat er auch Debir und seinem König, und wie er Libna und seinem König getan hatte.
Y tomola, y a su rey, y a todas sus villas; y metiéronlos a cuchillo, y destruyeron todo lo que allí dentro había vivo, sin quedar nada; como había hecho a Hebrón, así hizo a Debir y a su rey; y como había hecho a Libna y a su rey.
La tomó, junto con su rey y todas sus ciudades. Los hirieron a filo de espada y consagraron por completo a la destrucción a toda persona que había en ella; no dejó sobreviviente. Como había hecho a Hebrón, así hizo a Debir y a su rey, igual que había hecho a Libna y a su rey.
Il la prit, elle, son roi, et toutes les villes qui en dépendaient; ils les frappèrent du tranchant de l'épée, et ils dévouèrent par interdit tous ceux qui s'y trouvaient, sans en laisser échapper aucun; Josué traita Debir et son roi comme il avait traité Hébron et comme il avait traité Libna et son roi.
E la prese, insieme col suo re, e con tutte le sue città; e le mise a fil di spada; e distrusse al modo dell’interdetto tutte le anime ch’erano dentro; egli non ne lasciò alcuno in vita; egli fece a Debir, e al suo re, come avea fatto a Hebron, e come avea fatto a Libna, e al suo re.
E tomou-a com o seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades e as feriu a fio de espada, e a todos os que nelas estavam destruiu totalmente; nada deixou; como fizera a Hebrom, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei, e como fizera a Libna e ao seu rei.
奪了 底璧 和屬它的一切城鎮,又擒獲它的王,用刀把城中所有的人完全滅盡,沒有留下一個倖存者。他處置 底璧 和它的王,像從前處置 希伯崙 ,處置 立拿 和它的王一樣。
