SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:27
Pero los israelitas tomaron para sí las bestias y los despojos de la ciudad, conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR que él había mandado a Josué.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 8:27
Verse 27. Only the cattle and the spoil] In the case of Jericho these were all consigned to destruction, and therefore it was criminal to take any thing pertaining to the city, as we have already seen; but in the case before us the cattle and spoils were expressly given to the conquerors by the order of God. See Joshua viii. 2.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. Only the cattle, and the spoil of the city, Israel took for a prey unto themselves , etc.] Even all their substance, as besides their cattle, also their gold, silver, household goods, merchandise, etc. according unto the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua , ( Joshua 8:2).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-29 - God, the righteous Judge, had sentenced the Canaanites for their wickedness; the Israelites only executed his doom. None of their conduct can be drawn into an example for others. Especial reason n doubt there was for this severity to the king of Ai; it is likely he had been notoriously wicked and vile, and a blasphemer of the God of Israel.
