Context of Joshua 10:36
34Joshua and all Israel marched from Lachish to Eglon, camped there, and attacked it. 35They captured it that day and killed everyone in it. He claimed it for the Lord by destroying it the same way he had destroyed Lachish. Then Joshua and all Israel marched from Eglon to Hebron and attacked it. 37They captured it and its neighboring villages and killed its king and all the people. There were no survivors, the same as at Eglon. He claimed the city and all its people for the Lord by destroying them. 38Then Joshua and all Israel went back to Debir and attacked it.
