*** After this, David subdued and humbled the Philistines by conquering Gath, their largest city.* David also conquered the land of Moab. *He made the people lie down on the ground in a row, and he measured them off in groups with a length of rope. *He measured off two groups to be executed for every one group to be spared. *The Moabites who were spared became David's servants and brought him tribute money.** (2 Samuel 8:1-2 NLT)

Kill Everyone in 7 Nations
*
*** When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are all more powerful than you.* When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. *Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy.* Do not intermarry with them, and don't let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters.* They will lead your young people away from me to worship other gods. *Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and he will destroy you.** (Deuteronomy 7:1-4 NLT)

Exterminate 7 Nations
*
*** You must destroy all the nations the LORD your God hands over to you. *Show them no mercy and do not worship their gods. *If you do, they will trap you.* Perhaps you will think to yourselves, 'How can we ever conquer these nations that are so much more powerful than we are?'* But don't be afraid of them! *Just remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all the land of Egypt.* Remember the great terrors the LORD your God sent against them. *You saw it all with your own eyes! *And remember the miraculous signs and wonders, and the amazing power he used when he brought you out of Egypt. *The LORD your God will use this same power against the people you fear.* And then the LORD your God will send hornets to drive out the few survivors still hiding from you! *"No, do not be afraid of those nations, for the LORD your God is among you, and he is a great and awesome God.* The LORD your God will drive those nations out ahead of you little by little. *You will not clear them away all at once, for if you did, the wild animals would multiply too quickly for you.* But the LORD your God will hand them over to you. *He will throw them into complete confusion until they are destroyed.* He will put their kings in your power, and you will erase their names from the face of the earth. No one will be able to stand against you, and you will destroy them all. * (Deuteronomy 7:16-24 NLT)

Killed by a Lion

Family Killed

*** Then Zimri, who commanded half of the royal chariots, made plans to kill him. *One day in Tirzah, Elah was getting drunk at the home of Arza, the supervisor of the palace.* Zimri walked in and struck him down and killed him. *This happened in the twenty-seventh year of King Asa's reign in Judah. *Then Zimri became the next king. *Zimri immediately killed the entire royal family of Baasha, and he did not leave a single male child. *He even destroyed distant relatives and friends.* So Zimri destroyed the dynasty of Baasha as the LORD had promised through the prophet Jehu.* This happened because of the sins of Baasha and his son Elah and because of all the sins they led Israel to commit, arousing the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel, with their idols. * (1 Kings 16:9-13 NLT)

Canaan Enslaved for Absurd Reason
*
** *Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard.* He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent.* And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.* Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.* When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan; lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers."* He also said, "Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.* May God make space for Japheth, and let him live in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave."** (Genesis 9:20-27 NRSV)

Ten Thousand Murdered at God's Command
*
*** After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Which tribe should attack the Canaanites first?" *The LORD answered, "Judah, for I have given them victory over the land." *The leaders of Judah said to their relatives from the tribe of Simeon, "Join with us to fight against the Canaanites living in the territory allotted to us. *Then we will help you conquer your territory." *So the men of Simeon went with Judah. *When the men of Judah attacked, the LORD gave them victory over the Canaanites and Perizzites, and they killed ten thousand enemy warriors at the town of Bezek.* While at Bezek they encountered King Adoni-bezek and fought against him, and the Canaanites and Perizzites were defeated.* Adoni-bezek escaped, but the Israelites soon captured him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.* Adoni-bezek said, "I once had seventy kings with thumbs and big toes cut off, eating scraps from under my table. *Now God has paid me back for what I did to them." *They took him to Jerusalem, and he died there. *The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and captured it, killing all its people and setting the city on fire.* *(Judges 1:1-8 NLT)

Micah Kills a Whole Town

*** Then, with Micah's idols and his priest, the men of Dan came to the town of Laish, whose people were peaceful and secure. *They attacked and killed all the people and burned the town to the ground.* There was no one to rescue the residents of the town, for they lived a great distance from Sidon and had no allies nearby. *This happened in the valley near Beth-rehob.Then the people of the tribe of Dan rebuilt the town and lived there.* They renamed the town Dan after their ancestor, Israel's son, but it had originally been called Laish. * (Judges 18:27-29 NLT)**

Murder and Slavery
*
*** The tribe of Benjamin, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem. *So to this day the Jebusites live in Jerusalem among the people of Benjamin.* The descendants of Joseph attacked the town of Bethel, and the LORD was with them.* They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz), who confronted a man coming out of the city. *They said to him, "Show us a way into the city, and we will have mercy on you."* So he showed them a way in, and they killed everyone in the city except for this man and his family.* Later the man moved to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city. *He named the city Luz, and it is known by that name to this day. *The tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the people living in Beth-shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their surrounding villages, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region.
*
*** When the Israelites grew stronger, they forced the Canaanites to work as slaves, but they never did drive them out of the land. *The tribe of Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, and so the Canaanites continued to live there among them. *The tribe of Zebulun also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron and Nahalol, who continued to live among them. But they forced them to work as slaves.* The tribe of Asher also failed to drive out the residents of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.* In fact, because they did not drive them out, the Canaanites dominated the land where the people of Asher lived. *The tribe of Naphtali also failed to drive out the residents of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. Instead, the Canaanites dominated the land where they lived. *Nevertheless, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were sometimes forced to work as slaves for the people of Naphtali. *As for the tribe of Dan, the Amorites forced them into the hill country and would not let them come down into the plains.* The Amorites were determined to stay in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the descendants of Joseph became stronger, they forced the Amorites to work as slaves. * (Judges 1:21-35 NLT)

Hammer Tent Peg Into Head
*
*** Meanwhile, Sisera ran to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because Heber's family was on friendly terms with King Jabin of Hazor.* Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come into my tent, sir. *Come in. *Don't be afraid." *So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket. *"Please give me some water," he said. "I'm thirsty." *So she gave him some milk to drink and covered him again. *"Stand at the door of the tent," he told her. *"If anybody comes and asks you if there is anyone here, say no."* But when Sisera fell asleep from exhaustion, Jael quietly crept up to him with a hammer and tent peg. *Then she drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and so he died. *When Barak came looking for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him. *She said, "Come, and I will show you the man you are looking for." *So he followed her into the tent and found Sisera lying there dead, with the tent peg through his temple. *So on that day Israel saw God subdue Jabin, the Canaanite king.* And from that time on Israel became stronger and stronger against King Jabin, until they finally destroyed him.* *(Judges 4:17-24 NLT)

God's Human Slaughter Fest
*
*** Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign LORD, for the awesome day of the LORD's judgment has come. *The LORD has prepared his people for a great slaughter and has chosen their executioners.* "On that day of judgment," says the LORD, "I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all those following pagan customs.* Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies, and those who steal and kill to fill their masters' homes with loot. *"On that day," says the LORD, "a cry of alarm will come from the Fish Gate and echo throughout the newer Mishneh section of the city. And a great crashing sound will come from the surrounding hills.* Wail in sorrow, all you who live in the market area, for all who buy and sell there will die. *"I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem's darkest corners to find and punish those who sit contented in their sins, indifferent to the LORD, thinking he will do nothing at all to them.* They are the very ones whose property will be plundered by the enemy, whose homes will be ransacked. *They will never have a chance to live in the new homes they have built. *They will never drink wine from the vineyards they have planted. *"That terrible day of the LORD is near. *Swiftly it comes – a day when strong men will cry bitterly.* It is a day when the LORD's anger will be poured out. *It is a day of terrible distress and anguish, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, of clouds, blackness, trumpet calls, and battle cries. Down go the walled cities and strongest battlements! *"Because you have sinned against the LORD, I will make you as helpless as a blind man searching for a path. *Your blood will be poured out into the dust, and your bodies will lie there rotting on the ground." *Your silver and gold will be of no use to you on that day of the LORD's anger. *For the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy. *He will make a terrifying end of all the people on earth.** (Zephaniah 1:7:18 NLT)
