Josué 10:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:5

Therefore the five kings of the Amorites
For though they were chiefly Hittites that dwelt in Hebron, and Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; yet as the Amorites were the most powerful people in the land, and had dispersed themselves in the several parts of it, and seem to have the greatest authority in it, they were all called Amorites, and perhaps the kings of those cities were of them, and set over them by them; so we find that the Gibeonites, who were Hivites, are said to be of the remnant of the Amorite, ( 2 Samuel 21:2 ) ;

the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the
king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and
went up, they, and all their hosts;
that is, to Jerusalem, the place of their rendezvous, and from thence they marched:

and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it:
by besieging it, and attacking it in some of its forts.

Josué 10:5 In-Context

3 Por eso Adonisédec envió un mensaje a los siguientes reyes: Hohán de Hebrón, Pirán de Jarmut, Jafía de Laquis, y Debir de Eglón.

4 El mensaje decía: «Únanse a mí y conquistemos a Gabaón, porque ha hecho un tratado de ayuda mutua con Josué y los israelitas».

5 Entonces los cinco reyes amorreos de Jerusalén, Hebrón, Jarmut, Laquis y Eglón se unieron y marcharon con sus ejércitos para acampar frente a Gabaón y atacarla.

6 Los gabaonitas, por su parte, enviaron el siguiente mensaje a Josué, que estaba en Guilgal: «No abandone usted a estos siervos suyos. ¡Venga de inmediato y sálvenos! Necesitamos su ayuda, porque todos los reyes amorreos de la región montañosa se han aliado contra nosotros».

7 Josué salió de Guilgal con todo su ejército, acompañados de su comando especial.
