And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
So they attacked it with swords and killed everyone in the city, including its king. They didn't leave anyone alive, just like how they treated Eglon. The place was completely destroyed along with all the people living there.
