God told joshua to kill every man ,women, and child because they knew not of the living God but served other gods. If joshua would have only killed the men the children would have still grew up to hate God. Same as the flood and sodom. They had became so evil there was no hope for them. Achan was not killed because of stealing he was killed for his diobedients to God. There had to be an example of what happened to those who sinned against God. Just like when the church was started in acts chpt.5 Anninias and his wife sapphira held back from God and was struck dead. There has to be an example made or people will not respect the Lord.God is a loving just God, But he also brings down his wrath upon the wicked.
