여호수아 10:31-35 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Joshua 10:28-43

We are here informed how Joshua improved the late glorious victory he had obtained and the advantages he had gained by it, and to do this well is a general's praise. I. Here is a particular account of the several cities which he immediately made himself master of. 1. The cities of three of the kings whom he had conquered in the field he went and took possession of, Lachish (Josh. 10:31, 32), Eglon (Josh. 10:34, 35), and Hebron, Josh. 10:36, 37. The other two, Jerusalem and Jarmuth, were not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:31

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish ,.... Which, according to Bunting F4 Travels of the Patriarchs, &c.; p. 96. , was eight miles from Libnah, and twenty miles from Jerusalem to the southwest of this city; see Joshua 10:5 , and encamped against it, and fought against it ; for it seems this city stood out, and would not surrender at once, which obliged Joshua to encamp about it, and besiege it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:32

And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which he took on the second day ,.... Either the second day from the slaughter of the kings, or rather the second day of the encampment or siege; so Kimchi: and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah ; no mention is made of its king, because he was one of the five kings that had been hanged up; so that at the taking of this city there was no king. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:33

Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish ,.... Perhaps the rather induced to it, because it had no king to defend it. In Jerom's F5 De loc. Heb. fol. 92. A. time it was a village called Gazera, four miles from Nicopolis, or Emmaus, to the north: if this king came before the city was taken, he was not able to raise the siege; and if he came after, and so too late, he fell into the hands of Joshua: and Joshua smote him, and his people, until he had left him none remaining ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:34

And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon ,.... Which, according to Bunting F6 Ut supra. (Travels of the Patriarchs, &c.; p. 96.) , was eight miles from Lachish, and twelve from Jerusalem southward, of which see Joshua 10:5 , and all Israel with him, and they encamped against it, and fought against it ; it not surrendering at once, but attempted to hold out a siege. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:35

And they took it on that day ,.... The same day they encamped about it and besieged it; the besieged finding they were not able to keep it: and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day ; made an utter devastation of all its inhabitants: according to all that he had done to Lachish ; the last city he took; this having no king as that had not, its king being one of the five that had been hanged, Joshua 10:26 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 10:32

Lachish - It appears that this was anciently a very strong place; notwithstanding the people were panic-struck, and the Israelites flushed with success, yet Joshua could not reduce it till the second day, and the king of Assyria afterwards was obliged to raise the siege. See above, and see the note on Joshua 10:3 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 10:33

Horam king of Gezer - It is likely that Horam was in a state of alliance with the king of Lachish, and therefore came to his assistance as soon as it appeared that he was likely to be attacked. Joshua probably sent a detachment against him, before he was able to form a junction with the forces of Lachish; and utterly destroyed him and his army. Gezer is supposed to have been situated near Azotus. See 1 Maccabees 16:34. It fell to the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua 16:3 , but was probably... read more

Eglon - It is likely that this town was not any great distance from Lachish. See on Joshua 10:3 ; (note). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 10:1-43

The great victory and its results. Many of the considerations which this passage suggests have been already anticipated. Thus the celerity of Joshua's march (verse 9) suggests the same set of ideas as Joshua 4:10 . The destruction of the cities teaches the same lessons as the destruction of Jericho; while the miraculous interposition in the battle of Beth-horon is hardly to be distinguished, as a source of spiritual instruction, from the destruction of Jericho. Again, the confederacy... read more
