The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth,
and his heart was filled with pain.
So the Lord said,
“I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth —
men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—
for I am grieved that I have made them.”
Genesis 6:6-7
Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight
and was full of violence.
God saw how corrupt the earth had become,
for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
So God said to Noah,
“I am going to put an end to all people,
for the earth is filled with violence because of them.
I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
Genesis 6:11-13
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me:

because of the sword
I will send among them.”

“Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation;
a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
At that time those slain by the Lord will be everywhere—
from one end of the earth to the other.
They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried,
but will be like refuse lying on the ground.
Jeremiah 25:32-33
“ ‘If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me,
I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve.
I will send wild animals against you,
and they will rob you of your children,
destroy your cattle and make you so few in number
that your roads will be deserted.
If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction
but continue to be hostile toward me,
I myself will be hostile toward you
and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.
And I will bring the sword upon you
to avenge the breaking of the covenant.’ ”
Leviticus 26:21-25
But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.
He mustered his entire army
and marched out into the desert against Israel.
When he reached Jahaz, m he fought with Israel.
Israel, however, put him to the sword
and took over his land
from the Arnon to the Jabbok,
but only as far as the Ammonites, because their border was fortified.
Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them,
including Heshbon and all its surrounding settlements.
Numbers 21:23-25
The Lord said to Moses,
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites.
After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
So Moses said to the people,
“Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites
and to carry out the Lord's vengeance on them.
Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.”
So twelve thousand men armed for battle,
a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel.
Moses sent them into battle,
a thousand from each tribe,
along with Phinehas
son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him articles from the sanctuary
and the trumpets for signaling.
They fought against Midian,
as the Lord commanded Moses,
and killed every man.

I lift my hand to heaven and declare:
As surely as I live forever,
when I sharpen my flashing sword
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
while my sword devours flesh:
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”

Now when Joshua was near Jericho,
he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him
with a drawn sword in his hand.
Joshua went up to him and asked,
“Are you for us or for our enemies?”
“Neither,” he replied,
“but as commander of the army of the Lord
I have now come.”
Joshua 5:13-14
When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted,
and at the sound of the trumpet,
when the people gave a loud shout,
the wall collapsed;
so every man charged straight in,
and they took the city.
They devoted the city to the Lord
and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—
men and women, young and old,
cattle, sheep and donkeys.
Joshua 6:20-21
For when Joshua and all Israel
saw that the ambush had taken the city
and that smoke was going up from the city,
they turned around and attacked the men of Ai.
The men of the ambush also came out of the city against them,
so that they were caught in the middle,
with Israelites on both sides.
Israel cut them down, leaving them neither survivors nor fugitives.
Joshua 8:21-22
When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai
in the fields and in the desert where they had chased them,
and when every one of them had been put to the sword,
all the Israelites returned to Ai and killed those who were in it.
Twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
For Joshua did not draw back the hand that held out his javelin
until he had destroyed all who lived in Ai.
Joshua 8:24-26
So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins,
a desolate place to this day.
He hung the king of Ai on a tree and left him there until evening.
At sunset, Joshua ordered them to take his body from the tree
and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate.
And they raised a large pile of rocks over it, which remains to this day.
Joshua 8:28-29
That day Joshua took Makkedah.
He put the city and its king to the sword
and totally destroyed everyone in it.
He left no survivors.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him
moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked it.
The Lord also gave that city and its king into Israel’s hand.
The city and everyone in it Joshua put to the sword.
He left no survivors there.
Joshua 10:29-30
Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on
from Libnah to Lachish;
he took up positions against it and attacked it.
The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel,
and Joshua took it on the second day.
The city and everyone in it he put to the sword,
just as he had done to Libnah.
Meanwhile, Horam king of Gezer had come up to help Lachish,
but Joshua defeated him and his army—
until no survivors were left.
Joshua 10:31-33
Then Joshua and all Israel with him
moved on from Lachish to Eglon;
they took up positions against it and attacked it.
They captured it that same day and put it to the sword
and totally destroyed everyone in it,
just as they had done to Lachish.
Joshua 10:34-35
Then Joshua and all Israel with him
went up from Eglon to Hebron and attacked it.
They took the city and put it to the sword,
together with its king, its villages and everyone in it.
They left no survivors.
Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.
Joshua 10:36-37

turned around and attacked Debir.
They took the city, its king and its villages,

So Joshua subdued the whole region,
including the hill country, the Negev,
the western foothills and the mountain slopes,
together with all their kings.
He left no survivors.
He totally destroyed all who breathed,
just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Joshua 10:40
Joshua subdued them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza
and from the whole region of Goshen to Gibeon.
All these kings and their lands
Joshua conquered in one campaign,
because the Lord, the God of Israel,
fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:41-42
When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this,
he sent word to Jobab king of Madon,
to the kings of Shimron and Acshaph,
and to the northern kings who were in the mountains,
in the Arabah south of Kinnereth,
in the western foothills and in Naphoth Dor on the west;
to the Canaanites in the east and west;
to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites and Jebusites in the hill country;
and to the Hivites below Hermon in the region of Mizpah.
They came out with all their troops
and a large number of horses and chariots—
a huge army, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.
All these kings joined forces
and made camp together at the Waters of Merom,
to fight against Israel.
Joshua 11:1-5
The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them,
because by this time tomorrow
I will hand all of them over to Israel, slain.
You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”
So Joshua and his whole army came against them suddenly
at the Waters of Merom and attacked them,
and the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel.
They defeated them and pursued them
all the way to Greater Sidon, to Misrephoth Maim,
and to the Valley of Mizpah on the east,
until no survivors were left.
Joshua 11:6-8
At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor
and put its king to the sword.
(Hazor had been the head of all these kingdoms.)
Everyone in it they put to the sword.
They totally destroyed them,
not sparing anything that breathed,
and he burned up Hazor itself.
Joshua took all these royal cities and their kings
and put them to the sword.
He totally destroyed them,
as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.
Joshua 11:10-12
The Israelites carried off for themselves
all the plunder and livestock of these cities,
but all the people they put to the sword
until they completely destroyed them,
not sparing anyone that breathed.
Joshua 11:14
So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country,
all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen,
the western foothills, the Arabah
and the mountains of Israel with their foothills,
from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir,
to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon.
He captured all their kings and struck them down,
putting them to death.
Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time.
Joshua 11:16-18
For it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts
to wage war against Israel,
so that he might destroy them totally,
exterminating them without mercy,
as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:20
At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites
from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir and Anab,
from all the hill country of Judah,
and from all the hill country of Israel.
Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns.
Joshua 11:21

“You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,
but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty,
the God of the armies of Israel,
whom you have defied.”

“This day the Lord will hand you over to me,
and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head.

to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth,
and the whole world will know
that there is a God in Israel.”
1Samuel 17:46
“All those gathered here will know
that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves;
for the battle is the Lord's,
and he will give all of you into our hands.”
1Samuel 17:47
As the Philistine moved closer to attack him,
David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone,
he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead.
The stone sank into his forehead,
and he fell facedown on the ground.
So David triumphed over the Philistine
with a sling and a stone;
without a sword in his hand
he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
1Samuel 17:48-50
David ran and stood over him.
He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the scabbard.
After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead,
they turned and ran.
Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout
and pursued the Philistines
to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron.
Their dead were strewn
along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
1Samuel 17:48-52
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me:

filled with the wine of my wrath
and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.
When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad
because of the sword
I will send among them.”
