33At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
34So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
35That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
36Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it. 37They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.Cross References

Joshua 10:35 Summary
[This verse tells us that Joshua and the Israelites captured the city of Eglon and devoted it to destruction, just like they had done to the city of Lachish. This means that they followed God's commands to destroy the city and its people, as seen in Deuteronomy 20:16-18. This might seem harsh to us, but it's an example of God's judgment on the wicked nations of Canaan, and it shows us the importance of following God's commands, even when they're difficult. As it says in Proverbs 3:5-6, we should trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Joshua devote the city of Eglon to destruction?
Joshua followed God's instructions to devote the city to destruction, as seen in Deuteronomy 20:16-18, where God commanded the Israelites to destroy the cities of the nations they were conquering, so that the wicked nations would not lead the Israelites astray from following God.
Was it right for Joshua to put everyone in the city to the sword?
According to the Bible, God is a just and righteous God, and His commands must be followed, even when they seem difficult to understand, as seen in Romans 9:20-21, where Paul writes that God is the Potter and we are the clay, and He has the right to do as He pleases with His creation.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the conquest of Canaan?
This verse is part of the larger narrative of the conquest of Canaan, where Joshua leads the Israelites to victory over the various cities and nations, as seen in Joshua 10:28-43, and is a fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to the Israelites, as seen in Joshua 1:3-4.
What can we learn from Joshua's obedience to God's commands?
Joshua's obedience to God's commands, even when they were difficult, is an example to us of the importance of trusting and following God, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6, where we are commanded to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God and follow His commands, even when it's difficult?
- How can I apply the principle of obedience to God's commands in my daily life, just like Joshua did in this verse?
- What are some ways that I can remember God's faithfulness and promises, just like Joshua did in the conquest of Canaan?
- How can I balance the idea of a loving God with the concept of destruction and judgment, as seen in this verse?
