Joshua 10:31 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:31

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto
Lachish
Which, according to Bunting ^F4, was eight miles from Libnah, and twenty miles from Jerusalem to the southwest of this city; see ( Joshua 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.
