Then he fought against Israel and took <i>some</i> of them prisoners. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/numbers/21-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>So Israel made a vow to the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span>, and said, “If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/numbers/21-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities.
