And thus they did, and slew all those who had been left to protect the city;, yea, all those who would not yield up their weapons of war.

Simple English

They did this. They killed all the men who had been left to protect the city. They killed all who would not give up their weapons.

Paraphrase

They did exactly that, killing everyone who’d been left to defend the city—everyone who wouldn’t surrender their weapons.
