Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof,.... For this also was a royal city, and had others dependent on it; and therefore must lie further from Hebron than before suggested; and indeed Burchard k says it was five or six miles from it, and another writer l says ten miles:
and they smote them with the edge of the sword; the inhabitants of Debir, and the other cities adjacent to it;
and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] therein, he left none remaining; and yet it seems this city recovered again, and was reinhabited, and after the death of Joshua was taken by Othniel, Judges 1:11; unless, as before observed, with respect to Hebron, there is there a more particular account of the taking of it at this time:
as he had done to Hebron, so did he to Debir, and to the king thereof,
as he had done also to Libnah and her king; that is, slew them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 10:39. Destroyed all the souls — ויחרימו את כל נפש vaiyacharimu eth col nephesh, they brought every person under an anathema; they either slew them or reduced them to a state of slavery. Is it reasonable to say those were slain who were found in arms, of the others they made slaves?
