Joshua 10:36 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:36

And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto
Hebron
Which lay in the hill country, and therefore they are said to go up to it from Eglon, which lay lower; and, according to Bunting {g}, it was sixteen miles from it:

and they fought against it;
it making some resistance at first, and did not surrender at once, as demanded.

Joshua 10:36 In-Context

34 Then Joshua crossed from Lachish to Eglon and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and attacked it.

35 On that day they captured it and struck it down, putting everyone in it to the sword. He completely destroyed it that day, just as he had done to Lachish.

36 Next, Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and attacked it.

37 They captured it and struck down its king, all its villages, and everyone in it with the sword. Just as he had done at Eglon, he left no survivors. He completely destroyed Hebron and everyone in it.

38 Finally, Joshua turned toward Debir and attacked it. And all Israel was with him.
