No there are no verses in the Bible which are the equivalent to the Quran’s instruction to behead nonbelievers.

I suspect that the quotes in the Bible are from the early Old testament when the Hebrews were conquering Canaan. That era was violent with many tinpot warlords running around.

Israel has always been a target for guys looking for more riches because it is part of the fertile crescent and it has shipping access to the mediterranean and the red sea.

But that was 3 to 4,000 years ago and it was a very different world. The Bible reflects those changes.

The Quran does not reflect those changes and seems stuck in early medieval war lord sensibilities.
