3 So Jehovah listened to Israel’s voice and gave the Caʹnaan·ites over; and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. Hence they called the name of the place Horʹmah.*+
10 And Jehovah went throwing them into confusion before Israel,+ and they* began to slay them with a great slaughter at Gibʹe·on+ and went pursuing them by way of the ascent of Beth-hoʹron and slaying them as far as A·zeʹkah+ and Mak·keʹdah.+
3 Israel was something holy* to Jehovah,+ the first yield to Him.”’*+ ‘Any persons devouring him would make themselves guilty.+ Calamity itself would come upon them,’ was the utterance of Jehovah.”+
