The Bible shows the Jews rejoicing in killing in time of war:

The Bible says that during the Exodus, Joshua stopped the sun from crossing the sky, so that there would be enough time to kill as many Amaleks as possible.

During the biblical conquest of Canaan, God told the Israelites to commit acts of genocide after they captured a city.

The Book of Esther provides a detailed account of the number of their enemies the Jews had killed. Esther wanted to to kill even more of their already defeated enemies and so asked King Ahasuerus to extend for one further day their licence to do so.
