Josué 10:8

8 Y Jehová dijo á Josué: No tengas temor de ellos: porque yo los he entregado en tu mano, y ninguno de ellos parará delante de ti.

Josué 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:8

And the Lord said unto Joshua
Either when upon the march, and while he was proceeding on in his journey to the assistance of the Gibeonites, or rather before he set out; and it is highly probable he consulted the Lord on this occasion, having, it may be, some doubt on his mind, whether he should go to their assistance, since the league between them was obtained by fraud; and the words may be rendered, "and the Lord hath said" ^F14: before he set forward with his men of war:

fear them not;
the five kings, and their combined army:

for I have delivered them into thine hand;
had determined to do it, and which was as certain as if it had been actually done:

there shall not a man of them stand before thee;
but be either cut off, or obliged to flee.

Josué 10:8 In-Context

6 Y los moradores de Gabaón enviaron á decir á Josué al campo en Gilgal: No encojas tus manos de tus siervos; sube prestamente á nosotros para guardarnos y ayudarnos: porque todos los reyes de los Amorrheos que habitan en las montañas, se han juntado contra nosotros.

7 Y subió Josué de Gilgal, él y todo el pueblo de guerra con él, y todos los hombres valientes.

8 Y Jehová dijo á Josué: No tengas temor de ellos: porque yo los he entregado en tu mano, y ninguno de ellos parará delante de ti.

9 Y Josué vino á ellos de repente, toda la noche subió desde Gilgal.

10 Y Jehová los turbó delante de Israel, é hiriólos con gran mortandad en Gabaón: y siguiólos por el camino que sube á Beth-oron, é hiriólos hasta Azeca y Maceda.
