Lachish ,.... Lachish and Eglon were royal cities, of which see Joshua 10:3 ,

and Bozkath , is called Boscath, of which place was the mother of King Josiah, 2 Kings 21:1 ; some take it to be the same with Bascana, as in the Apocrypha:"And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.' (1 Maccabees 13:23)

and Eglon also was a royal city, of which see Joshua 10:3 .
