Contextual Overview
28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah and put the sword to it and its king. He annihilated everyone who lived in it; he left no survivors. He did to its king what he had done to the king of Jericho. 29 Joshua and all Israel marched from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against it. 30 The Lord handed it and its king over to Israel, and Israel put the sword to all who lived there; they left no survivors. They did to its king what they had done to the king of Jericho. 31 Joshua and all Israel marched from Libnah to Lachish. He deployed his troops and fought against it. 32 The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel and they captured it on the second day. They put the sword to all who lived there, just as they had done to Libnah. 33 Then King Horam of Gezer came up to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down, as well as his army, until no survivors remained. 34 Joshua and all Israel marched from Lachish to Eglon. They deployed troops and fought against it. 35 That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they annihilated it just as they had done to Lachish. 36 Joshua and all Israel marched up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it. 37 They captured it and put the sword to its king, all its surrounding cities, and all who lived in it; they left no survivors. As they had done at Eglon, they annihilated it and all who lived there.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the king: From Joshua 10:23, 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.
according: Joshua 10:35
Reciprocal: Exodus 17:13 - General Joshua 10:28 - them Joshua 10:39 - he left none Joshua 10:40 - utterly Joshua 11:12 - all the Joshua 12:10 - Hebron Joshua 14:13 - gave unto Joshua 15:14 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
and the king thereof,.... For though the king of Hebron was one of the kings that were taken in the cave of Makkedah, and hanged; yet before Joshua came up to it, they had set up another king over them:
and all the cities thereof; for Hebron was a metropolitan city, and had other cities dependent on it, and subject to it:
and all the souls that [were] therein; both in Hebron, and in the cities subject to it:
he left none remaining; in any of them:
according to all that he had done to Eglon; the last place he came from:
but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] therein; but it seems that afterwards some that made their escape before the taking of the city, and other Canaanites driven out of their habitations, repeopled it; so that after Joshua's death it was recovered again by the tribe of Judah, Judges 1:10; unless there is given in that place a more particular account of the taking of this city, with others at this time; but the former seems most likely.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The king thereof - No doubt the successor of the king slain at Makkedah Joshua 10:23.
All the cities thereof - i. e. the smaller towns dependent upon Hebron. The expression marks Hebron as the metropolis of other subject towns.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
