Joshua
Joshua 11:10–11
10At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms. 11The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction.c Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.
