Giosué 10:38 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:38

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir
A city, according to Kimchi, which he passed by when he went to Hebron, and did not fight against it; but, when he had taken Hebron, returned and took it; and which Bunting F8 says was but a mile from it, and twenty two miles from Jerusalem, towards the south; it is the same with Kirjathsepher and Kirjathsannah, ( Joshua 15:15 Joshua 15:49 ) ; the city of a book or books; and the Rabbins say F9, that with the Persians Debir signifies the same, and had its name from a library which was here kept, or from the archives in which the most memorable things since the flood were recorded; or from the making of paper or parchment, or whatsoever was made use of for writing, and of which volumes of books were made:

and fought against it;
it refusing to submit to him upon his summons.

Giosué 10:38 In-Context

36 Poi Giosuè, con tutto Israele, salì di Eglon in Hebron, e la combattè.
37 E la prese e la mise a fil di spada, insieme col suo re, e con tutte le sue città, e con tutte le anime ch’erano dentro; egli non ne lasciò alcuno in vita, interamente come avea fatto ad Eglon; e la distrusse al modo dell’interdetto, con tutte le anime ch’erano dentro.
38 Poi Giosuè, con tutto Israele, si rivolse verso Debir, e la combattè.
39 E la prese, insieme col suo re, e con tutte le sue città; e le mise a fil di spada; e distrusse al modo dell’interdetto tutte le anime ch’erano dentro; egli non ne lasciò alcuno in vita; egli fece a Debir, e al suo re, come avea fatto a Hebron, e come avea fatto a Libna, e al suo re.
40 Giosuè dunque percosse tutto quel paese, la contrada del monte, e del Mezzodì, e della pianura, e delle pendici dei monti, insieme con tutti i re loro; egli non ne lasciò alcuno in vita; anzi distrusse al modo dell’interdetto ogni anima, come il Signore Iddio d’Israele avea comandato.
