And Joshua and all Israel returned to Debir; and they encamped about it;

and they took it, and its king, and its villages. And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and they destroyed it, and everything breathing in it; and they did not leave in it anyone that was preserved: as they did to Hebron and her king, so they did to Debir and her king.

And Caleb went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir before was the City of Letters.
