Bible Verses About Hormah

Then the king of 'Arad, a Kena'ani who lived in the Negev, heard that Isra'el was approaching by way of Atarim, so he attacked Isra'el and took some of them captive.

Isra'el made a vow to ADONAI, "If you will hand this people over to me, I will completely destroy their cities."

ADONAI listened to what Isra'el said and handed over the Kena'anim, so they completely destroyed them and their cities and named the place Hormah [complete destruction].
