John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 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.
