Contextual Overview

²⁸ Joshua attacked and captured Makkedah and its king that day. He put everyone in the city to death; no one was left alive. He did to the king of Makkedah what he had done to the king of Jericho. ²⁹ After this, Joshua and his army went on from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked it. ³⁰ The Lord also gave the Israelites victory over this city and its king. They spared no one, but killed every person in it. They did to the king what they had done to the king of Jericho. ³¹ After this, Joshua and his army went on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounded it and attacked it. ³² The Lord gave the Israelites victory over Lachish on the second day of the battle. Just as they had done at Libnah, they spared no one, but killed every person in the city. ³³ King Horam of Gezer came to the aid of Lachish, but Joshua defeated him and his army and left none of them alive. ³⁴ Next, Joshua and his army went on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounded it and attacked it. ³⁵ They captured it the same day and put everyone there to death, just as they had done at Lachish. ³⁶ After this, Joshua and his army went from Eglon up into the hills to Hebron, attacked it ³⁷ and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else in the city as well as in the nearby towns. Joshua condemned the city to total destruction, just as he had done to Eglon. No one in it was left alive.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Joshua passed from Makkedah,.... After he had taken it, and destroyed its inhabitants, and its king:

and all Israel with him; that is, all the men of war he took with him from the camp at Gilgal, from whence he went to the relief of Gibeon:

unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah; a city that fell to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:42. Jerom r says, in his time it was a village, in the region of Eleutheropolis, and was called Libnah; according to Bunting s it was but two miles from Makkedah.

r De loc. Heb. fol. 92. M. s Travels of the Patriarchs, &c. p. 96.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Libnah - The word means “white” or “distinct,” and undoubtedly points to some natural feature of the spot, perhaps the “Garde Blanche” of the Crusaders, a castle which stood on or near the white cliffs which bound the plain of Philistia to the east opposite to Ascalon. It was in the southern part of the hill-country of Judah Joshua 15:42, and was one of the cities afterward assigned to the priests Joshua 21:13.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 29. Fought against Libnah — This city was near Makkedah, see Joshua 15:42, and fell to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 10:20; Joshua 10:42, and was given to the priests, Joshua 21:13. Sennacherib besieged it, after he had been obliged to raise the siege of Lachish. See 2 Kings 19:8; Isaiah 37:8.
