Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword,.... This could not be the work of a single person, nor of the whole sanhedrim, but was what the whole nation was to join in, according to the above note:

destroying it utterly; pulling down the houses, and demolishing its walls and fortifications, or burning it, as afterwards explained:

and all that is therein; men, women, and children:

and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword; this severity was used to show the Lord's indignation against the sin of idolatry, and to deter persons from it, both individuals and bodies of men.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 13:15. Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants — If one city were permitted to practise idolatry, the evil would soon spread, therefore the contagion must be destroyed in its birth.
