Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Joshua himself remained at Makkedah with the guards set before the cave. The other warriors would not return from the pursuit until the evening of the overthrow of the Amorites; and the execution of the kings and the capture of Makkedah itself belong, no doubt, to the day following Jos 10:27-28.
None moved his tongue - See the marginal reference and note. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| To the camp - To the body, of the army which were engaged there with Joshua to besiege that place. None moved his tongue - Not only their men of war could not find their hands, but they were so confounded, that they could not move their tongues in way of insult, as doubtless they did when the Israelites were smitten at Ai; but now they were silenced as well as conquered: they durst no more provoke the Israelites. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| None moved his tongue - The whole transaction of this important day had been carried on so evidently under the direction of God that there was not the least murmuring, nor cause for it, among them, for their enemies were all discomfited. There is an expression similar to this, Exo 11:7, on which the reader is requested to consult the note. |
27 And it came to pass at the time [06256] of the going down [0935] of the sun [08121], that Joshua [03091] commanded [06680], and they took them down [03381] off the trees [06086], and cast [07993] them into the cave [04631] wherein they had been hid [02244], and laid [07760] great [01419] stones [068] in the cave's [04631] mouth [06310], which remain until this very [06106] day [03117].
28 And that day [03117] Joshua [03091] took [03920] Makkedah [04719], and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and the king [04428] thereof he utterly destroyed [02763], them, and all the souls [05315] that were therein; he let [07604] none remain [08300]: and he did [06213] to the king [04428] of Makkedah [04719] as he did [06213] unto the king [04428] of Jericho [03405].
7 But against any of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall not a dog [03611] move [02782] his tongue [03956], against man [0376] or beast [0929]: that ye may know [03045] how that the LORD [03068] doth put a difference [06395] between the Egyptians [04714] and Israel [03478].
