OET (OET-RV) Then Yehoshua captured Makkedah that same day. They killed the king and everyone else in the city, leaving no survivors, and Yehoshua did the same to the king of Makkedah as he’d done to the king of Yericho.[fn]
10:28 We’re not actually given any details about what happened to the king of Yericho.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
and struck it and its king to the mouth of the sword
(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM Maqqēdāh captured Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in_the=day (the)=that and,struck,it with,edge sword and=DOM king,its utterly_destroyed DOM,it and=DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who in/on/at/with,it not left survivors and=he/it_made to,king Maqqēdāh just=as he/it_had_made to,king Yərīḩō/(Jericho) )
The author is speaking of a sword as if it were a living thing that could have a mouth. For help in translating this phrase here and in the rest of this chapter, see the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: “and killed everyone who lived there, including its king”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
He devoted them and every soul that {was} in it. He did not leave a survivor.
(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM Maqqēdāh captured Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in_the=day (the)=that and,struck,it with,edge sword and=DOM king,its utterly_destroyed DOM,it and=DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who in/on/at/with,it not left survivors and=he/it_made to,king Maqqēdāh just=as he/it_had_made to,king Yərīḩō/(Jericho) )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. For help in translating these phrases here and in the rest of this chapter, see the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “He completely destroyed everyone who was in it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
He devoted them and every soul that {was} in it
(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM Maqqēdāh captured Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in_the=day (the)=that and,struck,it with,edge sword and=DOM king,its utterly_destroyed DOM,it and=DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who in/on/at/with,it not left survivors and=he/it_made to,king Maqqēdāh just=as he/it_had_made to,king Yərīḩō/(Jericho) )
The author assumes that readers will know that in this context, the term devoted describes complete destruction. See the discussion of the term in the General Introduction to Joshua. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “He completely destroyed them and every person who was in it”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
He devoted them
(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM Maqqēdāh captured Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in_the=day (the)=that and,struck,it with,edge sword and=DOM king,its utterly_destroyed DOM,it and=DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who in/on/at/with,it not left survivors and=he/it_made to,king Maqqēdāh just=as he/it_had_made to,king Yərīḩō/(Jericho) )
The pronoun them refers to the city of Makkedah and its king. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “He completely destroyed the city and its king”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
and every soul that {was} in it
(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM Maqqēdāh captured Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in_the=day (the)=that and,struck,it with,edge sword and=DOM king,its utterly_destroyed DOM,it and=DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who in/on/at/with,it not left survivors and=he/it_made to,king Maqqēdāh just=as he/it_had_made to,king Yərīḩō/(Jericho) )
The author is using part of a person, his soul, to mean the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and every person who was in it”
10:28 He destroyed them all: See study note on 2:9-10.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
