2 “Take vengeance+ for the sons of Israel upon the Midʹi·an·ites.+ Afterward you will be gathered to your people.”+

8 Then Jehovah said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid or be terrified.+ Take with you all the people of war and get up, go up to Aʹi. See, I have given into your hand the king of Aʹi and his people and his city and his land.+

2 To this Jehovah said: “Judah will go up.+ Look! I shall certainly give the land into his hand.”

3 Now go, and you must strike down Amʹa·lek+ and devote him to destruction+ with all that he has, and you must not have compassion upon him, and you must put them to death,+ man as well as woman, child as well as suckling,+ bull as well as sheep, camel as well as ass.’”+
