G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 10:1-43

This action of the Gibeonites in securing their own safety aroused the anger of the confederate kings and they proceeded to act against Gibeon in order to punish it. In their peril the men of Gibeon appealed to Joshua He instantly responded, for the gathering together of these kings created his opportunity. By forced marches he reached the scene of action. The rout of the kings was complete and was made more terrible by the storm of hail which swept upon them as they fled, killing more than... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 10:29-30

‘ And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah. And YHWH delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel. And he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.’ Libnah is another town whose site is unidentified. None of the suggestions made are really satisfactory. It was another of a series of towns in the Shephelah... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 10:28-40

Joshua 10:28-Matthew : . Conquest of S. Canaan.— This section is late and is from the hand of the Deuteronomist. Well-known passages in this and other books show it to be quite unhistorical. In 33 the king of Gezer ( Judges 1:29 *, 1 Kings 9:16 *,) is said to have been slain with all his people, though from Joshua 16:10 we know that Gezer maintained its independence, and from Kings it appears that it did so till the time of Solomon. In Joshua 10:36-Malachi : Hebron and Debir are taken, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 10:29-43

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 10:29. Libnah] Another of the cities belonging to the Shephelah, or low country of Judah. It was besieged by Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:8), and it was probably in this neighbourhood that the 185,000 Assyrians were slain, in one night, by the angel of the Lord. Dean Stanley and Van de Velde differ as to the site of Libnah—the former placing it at Tell es-Safieh, five miles N.W. of Eleutheropolis, and the latter, with more confidence, at Arâk el-Meushȋyeh, four miles W. of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:1-43

Chapter 10In verse six of chapter ten,The men of Gibeon sent an urgent message to Joshua that they were being attacked. They said, "Now we have this mutual defense pact with you, so come to our aid." And Joshua honoring the pact that he had made, took his men of war, in a forced march all night long, and they came to the area of Gibeon where the Gibeonites were being attacked by these kings with all their chariots, and horses and all. The Lord spoke unto Joshua before going into battle, and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 10:1-43

Joshua 10:1 . Adonizedek, lord of righteousness. Zedek was common in the names of the kings of Jerusalem, as Melchizedek. Joshua 10:11 . Great stones hail stones, as in many versions. So is Psalms 68:14. “When the Almighty scattered kings, it was white as snow in Salmon.” The hail in Egypt destroyed men and cattle. Diodorus Siculus says, that “as the Persians were on their march to plunder the temple of Delphos, a violent storm of thunder and lightning fell on their camp, which... read more
