(Jesus must have intervened, to help those soldiers, in that generation of Israel, after they came home from war:)

Joshua 11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.

  11 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

Deuteronomy 2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

Deuteronomy 3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

(In modern warfare, it is a horrible experience, killing people by shooting them, and seeing comrades killed, which often leads to extreme emotional trauma, nightmares, and PTSD.

What about back then, where the killing was up close, face to face, looking in their eyes, fighting with swords, with blood and limbs flying all over the place?

What kind of nightmares would result from those experiences?

How much more, then, when the soldiers killed women and children, up close with swords?

Seeing the absolute look of terror in the children's' eyes, hearing their shrieks of pain, and the cries of women seeing their children killed?

What soldier could ever endure the subsequent nightmares and PTSD, unless the LORD intervened, and healed their deep emotional distress.

I imagine, with that generation of Israel, since the LORD commanded them to do the killing, that he also took it upon himself to protect them, or heal them, of the resulting PTSD.)
