| 35. | So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land. | So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage. | So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land. | ||
