Midrash for Deuteronomy 7:24
וְנָתַ֤ן מַלְכֵיהֶם֙ בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ וְהַאֲבַדְתָּ֣ אֶת־שְׁמָ֔ם מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם לֹֽא־יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב אִישׁ֙ בְּפָנֶ֔יךָ עַ֥ד הִשְׁמִֽדְךָ֖ אֹתָֽם׃
And He shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven; there shall no man be able to stand against thee, until thou have destroyed them.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 11:25) "No man will stand up against you": This tells me only of a man. Whence do I derive (the same for) a people, or a family, or a woman with her witchcraft? From (Devarim 7:24) "And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall cause their names to go lost from under the heavens. A man will not stand up against you until you have destroyed them." If so, why is it written "No man"? Even one like Og the king of Bashan.
