And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 11 of Joshua. Hazor, presented as the head of those kingdoms, is captured and burned. The other cities are taken and their goods distributed, while Joshua maintains the instructions received through Moses. The explicit reference to Moses functions as a bridge between generations: Joshua is not acting autonomously, but carrying out the legal and theological framework previously received. Continued obedience is one of the criteria by which the narrator evaluates his leadership.

A son retour, et dans le même temps, Josué prit Hatsor, et frappa son roi avec l'épée: Hatsor était autrefois la principale ville de tous ces royaumes.
In quel tempo ancora Giosuè, ritornandosene, prese Hasor, e percosse il re di essa con la spada; perciocchè Hasor era stata per addietro il capo di tutti que’ regni.
E naquele mesmo tempo voltou Josué, e tomou a Hazor, e feriu à espada ao seu rei; porquanto Hazor antes era a cabeça de todos estes reinos.
