Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish,.... Which, according to Bunting d, 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.
