'Destroy' in the Bible

So Israel made a vow to the Lord and said, "If you will indeed deliver this people into our hand, then we will utterly destroy their cities."

A ruler will be established from Jacob; he will destroy the remains of the city.'"

"Bring trouble to the Midianites, and destroy them,

you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images, all their molten images, and demolish their high places.
