Deuteronomy 7:24 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:24

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand
Who were very numerous, for though there were but seven nations, there were more kings, even one and thirty, ( Joshua 12:9-24 ) ,

thou shall destroy their name from under heaven;
not only destroy the name of the reigning kings, so as that they should not be remembered and made mention of any more, but put an end to the name and race of kings among them, so that they should never have any more, as they never had:

there shall no man be able to stand before thee,
until thou have destroyed them; the nations and their kings.

Deuteronomy 7:24 In-Context

22 The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you.
23 But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.
24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.
25 The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
