Joshua 10:29

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

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, Jos 15:42.

Jerom says, in his time it was a village, in the region of Eleutheropolis, and was called Libnah; according to Bunting it was but two miles from Makkedah. De loc. Heb. fol. 92. M. Travels of the Patriarchs, &c.
