Bible Verse Review

Eglon: This town appears to have been no great distance from Lachish, with which it is mentioned, Joshua 15:39, as one of the cities given to Judah. Joshua 10:3, Joshua 12:12, Joshua 15:39

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon,.... Which, according to Bunting f, 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.

f Ut supra. (Travels of the Patriarchs, &c. p. 96.)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 34. Eglon — It is likely that this town was not any great distance from Lachish. Joshua 10:3.
