Joshua 10:27-43
take ... down <03381> [they took.]
remain ..... day <03117 06106> [until this very day.]
Makkedah <04719> [Makkedah.]
Situated, according to Eusebius, 8 miles east from Eleutheropolis. It was afterwards assigned to the tribe of Judah.
lived <05315> [them.]
did ........ done <06213> [and he did.]
Libnah <03841> [Libnah.]
This city was situated in the south of Judah, and in the district of Eleutheropolis, according to Eusebius and Jerome. It is probably the Libnah in the neighbourhood of which the Israelites encamped.
[as he did.]
Lachish <03923> [Lachish.]
Lachish was also situated in the south of Judah, seven miles south from Eleutheropolis, according to Eusebius and Jerome. It appears to have been anciently a very strong place; for though 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.
Libnah <03841> [to Libnah.]
Gezer <01507> [Gezer.]
Gezer was situated on the confines of Ephraim and Manasseh, between Beth-horon and the sea; and is evidently the village of Gazara mentioned by Eusebius, four miles (north) from Nicopolis or Emmaus.
Eglon <05700> [Eglon.]
This town appears to have been no great distance from Lachish, with which it is mentioned, ch. 15:39, as one of the cities given to Judah.
day ............... day <03117> [on that day.]
annihilated <02763> [utterly.]
Hebron <02275> [Hebron.]
king <04428> [the king.]
From ver. 23, we learn that the king of Hebron was one of the five whom Joshua slew and hanged on five trees at Makkedah. This slaying of the king of Hebron, therefore, must either refer to what had already been done, or the Hebronites had set up another, whom Joshua now slew when he took the city.
done <06213> [according.]
Debir <01688> [Debir.]
Debir was situated in the south of the tribe of Judah, near Hebron. The expression of Joshua's returning to Debir, probably denotes, that having carried his conquests in the southern parts as far as Gaza, (ver. 41,) which was in the south-west angle of Canaan, he then marched back to besiege Debir.

Lord <03068> [as the Lord.]
Kadesh Barnea <06947> [Kadesh-barnea.]
Gaza <05804> [Gaza.]
region <0776> [all the country.]
The country of Goshen, mentioned here, seems to have been in the south of Judah; and to have taken its name from the city of Goshen, situated in the same tribe.
