Josué 10:1 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:1

Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem
So called, perhaps by anticipation, Jerusalem, since it seems to have had this name given it by the Israelites, when they had got possession of it: and Jerusalem signifies "the possession of Salem" F23, and in memory of this its ancient name, the Jews say F24, they do not put "jod" in Jerusalem between "lamed" and "mem"; though some make the signification of it, "they shall see peace" F25; and others, nearer to its old name, and with respect to it, "fear Salem", O ye enemies. Now the king of this place

had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it;
which, being nearer to him than Jericho, the more alarmed him:

as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her
king;
burnt the one, and slew the other; and this terrified him, lest he and his city should undergo the same fate:

and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were
among them;
which as it weakened the interest of the kings of Canaan, might set an example to other places to do the like. Abarbinel suggests, that the Gibeonites making peace with Israel secretly, without the knowledge of their king, as he supposes, made Adonizedek fearful, lest his subjects should do the like; the Jewish chronologers say F26, that these three acts respecting Jericho, Ai, and Gibeon, were all finished within three months.

Josué 10:1 In-Context

1 Y sucedi贸 que cuando Adonisedec, rey de Jerusal茅n, oy贸 que Josu茅 hab铆a capturado a Hai y que la hab铆a destruido por completo (como hab铆a hecho con Jeric贸 y con su rey, as铆 hab铆a hecho con Hai y con su rey), y que los habitantes de Gaba贸n hab铆an concertado la paz con Israel y estaban dentro de su tierra,
2 tuvo gran temor, porque Gaba贸n era una gran ciudad, como una de las ciudades reales, y porque era m谩s grande que Hai, y todos sus hombres eran valientes.
3 Por tanto, Adonisedec, rey de Jerusal茅n, envi贸 mensaje a Hoham, rey de Hebr贸n, a Piream, rey de Jarmut, a Jaf铆a, rey de Laquis y a Debir, rey de Egl贸n, diciendo:
4 Subid a m铆 y ayudadme, y ataquemos a Gaba贸n, porque ha hecho paz con Josu茅 y con los hijos de Israel.
5 Se reunieron, pues, los cinco reyes de los amorreos, el rey de Jerusal茅n, el rey de Hebr贸n, el rey de Jarmut, el rey de Laquis y el rey de Egl贸n, y subieron ellos con todos sus ej茅rcitos, y acamparon junto a Gaba贸n y lucharon contra ella.
