If you recall, she was spared when the city was attacked by hanging some sort of banner out of her window.
By the way, Joshua and Judges are the books to read if you really want some biblical bloody violence. I'm trying to find my bible study notes. I recall that in Judges, one bloke named Abimelech had his 70 brothers killed so he could be the next judge of Israel. I was a nasty time to be alive indeed. |
