Albert Barnes Commentary
"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 he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein." — Joshua 10:37 (ASV)
Its king - No doubt the successor of the king slain at Makkedah (Joshua 10:23).
All its cities - that is, the smaller towns dependent upon Hebron. The expression marks Hebron as the metropolis of other subject towns.
