Deuteronomy 2:33-34

2:33 the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, along with his sons ¹  and everyone else. ²  2:34 At that time we seized all his cities and put every one of them ³  under divine judgment, ⁴  including even the women and children; we left no survivors.

¹ tc The translation follows the Qere or marginal reading; the Kethib (consonantal text) has the singular, “his son.”

² tn Heb “all his people.”

³ tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

⁴ tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.
