Give … into your hand means the same as “give over to you” in verses 2, 16. For kings see 1.4.

Make their name perish from under heaven: once the people are killed they will not have any descendants to carry on the family name. Or else the meaning of this statement may be that they will be completely forgotten; no one will remember them or their deeds. Good News Translation has “and they will be forgotten,” and Contemporary English Version has “No one will remember they ever lived.” From under heaven means simply “on earth.”

Stand against you: that is, “resist you successfully” or “stop you” (Good News Translation).

Destroyed: the same verb that is used in verse 23.
