Arad Destroyed
21 When the Canaanite king of Arad,(A) who lived in the Negev,(B) heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. 2 Then Israel made this vow(C) to the Lord: “If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy[a](D) their cities.” 3 The Lord listened to Israel’s plea and gave the Canaanites(E) over to them. They completely destroyed them(F) and their towns; so the place was named Hormah.[b](G)

Israel besegrar kungen i Arad
21 När den kananeiske kungen i Arad i Negevöknen hörde att Israel kom längs vägen till Atarim anföll han dem och tog några av dem till fånga.
2 Då lovade Israels folk Herren att om han hjälpte dem att besegra kungen i Arad och hans folk, skulle de fullständigt förstöra alla hans städer.
3 Herren gick med på deras begäran och lät dem besegra kananeerna. Israel utrotade dem och förstörde deras städer. Efter detta kallades området Horma, som betyder förstörelse.
