Arad Captured

21 The Canaanite king of Arad, who was dwelling in the Negev,^[a] heard that Israel came along the way of Atharim; he fought against Israel and took some of them captive. ² Israel made a vow to Yahweh, and they said, “If you will surely give this people into our^[b] hand, then we^[c] will destroy^[d] their cities.” ³ Yahweh heard the voice of Israel; he gave to them the Canaanites, and they destroyed them^[e] and their cities. They called the name of the place Hormah.
