Therefore I publish a decree: Every people, tribe, [or] language that shall speak reproachfully against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, [and] Abed-Nego shall be destroyed, and their houses shall be plundered, because there is no other God who shall be able to deliver thus.

And Samuel said to Agag, As your sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall your mother be made childless among women. And Samuel hacked Agag [to pieces] before the Lord in Gilgal.

Now consider these things, all you that forget God, lest He tear [you], and there be none to deliver.

They shall utterly pass away like water running through; he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.

And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited forever, it shall not be built again.

And Joshua adjured [them] on that day before the Lord, saying, Cursed [be] the man who shall build that city- he shall lay the foundation of it in his firstborn, and he shall set up the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Bethel; he laid the foundation in Abiron his firstborn, and set up the gates of it in his youngest surviving son.

And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a refuse dump to this day.

And a decree has been made by me, that every man who shall alter this word, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and let him be lifted up and slain upon it, and his house shall be confiscated.
