Gill's Notes on the Bible
But these five kings fled,.... They were not killed by hailstones, nor slain by the sword of the Israelites, but made their escape, being reserved by the providence of God for a more shameful end:
and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah; not in the city of Makkedah, which as yet was not in the hands of Israel, whereas this cave was, as appears by what follows; but it was in some hill, or mountain, near it; in the border of it, as Kimchi expresses it, and where a hill is shown to this day in which it was, as Drusius says.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The thread of the narrative, broken by the four intermediate verses, Joshua 10:12-15, is now resumed from Joshua 10:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 10:16. Hid themselves in a cave — It is very likely that this cave was a fortified place among some rocks; for there were many such places in different parts of Palestine.
