However, the concept of cities and conquests can be related to various Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament narratives concerning land and inheritance. Usage: The term "Debir" is used in the context of a city conquered by Joshua and the Israelites during their campaign in Canaan. It is mentioned in various passages as a significant location in the tribal allotments and conquests. Context: Debir is a city located in the hill country of Judah, known for its strategic and historical significance in the biblical narrative. It is first mentioned in the context of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, where Joshua led the Israelites to capture the city. In Joshua 10:38-39 (BSB), it is recorded: "Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned back to Debir and fought against it. And they captured it and its king and all its villages. They struck them down with the sword and completely destroyed everyone in it; they left no survivors. So Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king."
