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.
