'Men of War' in the Bible

And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised. All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the wayside, after they came out of Egypt.

For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the people, the men of war, who came out of Egypt, were destroyed, because they did not obey the voice of Jehovah. To them Jehovah swore that He would not show them the land which Jehovah swore to their fathers that He would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.

And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho into your hand, and its king, and the mighty men of war.

And you shall go around the city, all the men of war. Go around the city once. So you shall do for six days.

So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of war.

And it happened, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel. And he said to the commanders of the men of war who had gone with him, Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings. And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.
