Notes

Numbers 31:9–13

After the battle, the Hebrews began the practice that they sometimes followed throughout the period of conquest and beyond (for example, Joshua 6; 8; 10–11). They destroyed their enemies (sometimes the total population), burned towns, and set aside spoils for their own use or as dedicated to the Lord.
