Armies: Often Destroyed by Their Enemies

So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.

And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.

With a great blow he devastated twenty cities from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel-keramim. So the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.

There the people of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the slaughter was great that day—twenty thousand men.

Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the horses and chariots, inflicting a great slaughter on the Arameans.
