Joshua 10:31

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

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish,.... Which, according to Bunting , was eight miles from Libnah, and twenty miles from Jerusalem to the southwest of this city; see Jos 10:5;and encamped against it, and fought against it; for it seems this city stood out, and would not surrender at once, which obliged Joshua to encamp about it, and besiege it.
