Some of the wars and battles in The Bible were considered genocides, for example the battle in the Old Testament, where Saul and his army destroyed all the Amalekites but failed to kill the livestock, as Samuel's had instructed.

Some features of the ideology motivating the Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BC have surprisingly modern echoes in 20th-century genocides. Perhaps 150,000 were massacred.

How long do genocides usually last?

Genocides typically last until (1) a foreign army intervenes and shuts down the genocide (such as in the Jewish Holocaust, Rwandan Genocide, or Cambodian Genocide), or (2) the genocide is generally deemed to be complete or successful (such as in the Armenian genocide, genocide against the Wampanoag). There is no set time frame in either case.
