From Joshua 6
And to Joshua the Lord said, "I have delivered Jericho and its king into your power....The wall of the city will collapse, and they will be able to make a frontal attack."
The wall collapsed, and the people stormed the city in a frontal attack and took it. They observed the ban by putting to the sword all living creatures in the city: men and women, young and old..."
The city itself they burned with all that was in it, except the silver, gold, and articles of bronze and iron, which were placed in the treasury of the house of the Lord.
