Context of Joshua 10:32
30The Lord gave them power over that city and its king. Joshua destroyed the city and everyone who lived in it. He did not leave anyone alive. They did the same thing to Libnah's king as they had done to the king of Jericho. 31After this, Joshua and all the Israelite army marched from Libnah to Lachish. They attacked Lachish city from all sides. The Lord gave them power over the city. They fought for two days and then they took the city. They killed everyone who lived in it, as they had done at Libnah. 33Then Horam, king of Gezer, came to help the people of Lachish. But Joshua's army fought against him and his army. He killed them all, with nobody left alive. 34Then Joshua and his army marched from Lachish to Eglon. They attacked Eglon city from all sides.
