約書亞記 11:6-7 RCUVTS

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 11:1-23

The Campaign in the NorthHere there is no trace, as in the former case, of miraculous interposition. Joshua’s generalship, courage, swiftness and loyalty are the prominent factors in the achievement. Yet it is made clear here (Joshua 11:6-8) as ever, that those qualities attained their object because they were under the direct guidance of the God of Israel.1. Jabin] king of Hazor.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Joshua 11:1-23

CHAPTER XX.THE BATTLE OF MEROM.Joshua Chs. 11, 12. THERE is some appearance of confusion in the terms in which the great confederacy of native princes against Israel is brought in. In the beginning of the ninth chapter, a combination that embraced the whole country, north and south, east and west, is described as gathered together to fight with Joshua and with Israel. Nothing more is said till after the treaty with the Gibeonites, when five of these confederate kings residing in the south not... read more

Further Conquests CHAPTER 11 1. Jabin and his confederacy (Joshua 11:1-5 ) 2. The divine encouragement (Joshua 11:6 ) 3. The victory (Joshua 11:7-14 ) 4. The obedience of Joshua (Joshua 11:15 ) 5.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 11:1-23

JEPHTHAH; AN UNUSUAL LEADER (vv. 1-11) There was one man whose capacities for leadership stood out above others in Israel, Jephthah a Gileadite, but he was not popular, being the son of a prostitute (v. 1). His father's wife had sons who, when they grew up, refused to own Jephthah as their brother and expelled him from any inheritance in his father's house (v. 2). Of course Jephthah's birth was not his fault, but his father's. But this made no difference to his brothers. Jephthah went to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Joshua 11:1-23

CONQUEST OF THE NORTH Owing to the length of the last lesson no comment was made on the latter half of the previous chapter. But it will be seen that verses 16-27 gave an account of the final destruction of the five kings in the confederacy against Gibeon. The map will show Makkedah (Joshua 10:16 ) to the west of Gibeon, near the sea and in what we know as the Philistine country. In a cave the kings hid and were imprisoned by Joshua until the rout of the warriors was complete (Joshua... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Joshua 11:1-23

Types of Christian Warfare Joshua 11:0 AGAIN there seems to be nothing for us in these historical records. Yet, properly understood, these records were only written yesterday, as if with ink of our own making, and by hands that are writing the story today. Surely we find here types of Christian warfare; and surely we find here lessons by which we may direct our energy, as well as our thought, in the great conflict which is going on as between light and darkness, right and wrong, Christ and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Joshua 11:6

I beg the Reader to remark with me on this verse, how gracious the Lord is to his servants, in the repeated communications of his assured love and favor. Joshua had been told by his God, that he would certainly be with him, and that he should certainly conquer all his enemies. But yet you see the merciful and gracious Lord, will again remind him of his promise. Oh, thou dear Lord of thy people, how precious are thy constant communications of grace, and how much do' thy fearful, unbelieving... read more
