Joshua 11:12-13
royal cities ..... kings <05892 04428> [all the.]
Moses <04872> [as Moses.]
mounds <08510> [in their. Heb. on their heap.]
The Vulgate, Syriac, Onkelos and Waterland render {Æ’l tillom,} "on their hills." As the cities of the plain might be easily attacked and carried, Joshua destroyed them; but as those on mountains, hills, or other eminences, might be retained by him with little trouble, prudence would dictate their preservation.
