And it came to pass, when David was dealing with Edom, and Joab general of the army went up to bury the slain, - and had smitten every male in Edom, -

for, six months, did Joab remain there, with all Israel, - until he had cut off every male in Edom,

Moreover also, there were, male devotees, in the land, - they did according to all the abominable practices of the nations, which Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.

and he put away the male devotees out of the land, - and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
