'Slay' in the Bible

And it cometh to pass, at Israel's finishing to slay all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them (and they fall all of them by the mouth of the sword till their consumption), that all Israel turn back to Ai, and smite it by the mouth of the sword;

But the sons of Israel did not strike them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord the God of Israel [to spare them]. And all the congregation murmured [expressing great dissatisfaction] against the leaders.

And he did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they did not slay them.

Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
