A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
JOSHUA RESCUES IT. (Jos 10:6-9)

the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua--Their appeal was urgent and their claim to protection irresistible, on the ground, not only of kindness and sympathy, but of justice. In attacking the Canaanites, Joshua had received from God a general assurance of success (Jos 1:5). But the intelligence of so formidable a combination among the native princes seems to have depressed his mind with the anxious and dispiriting idea that it was a chastisement for the hasty and inconsiderate alliance entered into with the Gibeonites. It was evidently to be a struggle of life and death, not only to Gibeon, but to the Israelites. And in this view the divine communication that was made to him was seasonable and animating. He seems to have asked the counsel of God and received an answer, before setting out on the expedition.

5 There shall not any man [0376] be able to stand [03320] before [06440] thee all the days [03117] of thy life [02416]: as I was with Moses [04872], so I will be with thee: I will not fail [07503] thee, nor forsake [05800] thee.
6 And the men [0582] of Gibeon [01391] sent [07971] unto Joshua [03091] to the camp [04264] to Gilgal [01537], saying [0559], Slack [07503] not thy hand [03027] from thy servants [05650]; come up [05927] to us quickly [04120], and save [03467] us, and help [05826] us: for all the kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567] that dwell [03427] in the mountains [02022] are gathered together [06908] against us.
7 So Joshua [03091] ascended [05927] from Gilgal [01537], he, and all the people [05971] of war [04421] with him, and all the mighty [01368] men of valour [02428].
8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Fear [03372] them not: for I have delivered [05414] them into thine hand [03027]; there shall not a man [0376] of them stand [05975] before [06440] thee.
9 Joshua [03091] therefore came [0935] unto them suddenly [06597], and went up [05927] from Gilgal [01537] all night [03915].
17 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265], and came [0935] unto their cities [05892] on the third [07992] day [03117]. Now their cities [05892] were Gibeon [01391], and Chephirah [03716], and Beeroth [0881], and Kirjathjearim [07157].
7 So Joshua [03091] ascended [05927] from Gilgal [01537], he, and all the people [05971] of war [04421] with him, and all the mighty [01368] men of valour [02428].
24 So there was hail [01259], and fire [0784] [03947] mingled [08432] with the hail [01259], very [03966] grievous [03515], such as there was none [03808] like it in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] since it became a nation [01471].
30 And the LORD [03068] shall cause his glorious [01935] voice [06963] to be heard [08085], and shall shew [07200] the lighting down [05183] of his arm [02220], with the indignation [02197] of his anger [0639], and with the flame [03851] of a devouring [0398] fire [0784], with scattering [05311], and tempest [02230], and hailstones [068] [01259].
11 And it came to pass, as they fled [05127] from before [06440] Israel [03478], and were in the going down [04174] to Bethhoron [01032], that the LORD [03068] cast down [07993] great [01419] stones [068] from heaven [08064] upon them unto Azekah [05825], and they died [04191]: they were more [07227] which died [04191] with hailstones [01259] [068] than they whom [0834] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slew [02026] with the sword [02719].
16 But these five [02568] kings [04428] fled [05127], and hid [02244] themselves in a cave [04631] at Makkedah [04719].
41 And Gederoth [01450], Bethdagon [01016], and Naamah [05279], and Makkedah [04719]; sixteen [08337] [06240] cities [05892] with their villages [02691]:
1 Now the Philistines [06430] gathered together [0622] their armies [04264] to battle [04421], and were gathered together [0622] at Shochoh [07755], which belongeth to Judah [03063], and pitched [02583] between Shochoh [07755] and Azekah [05825], in Ephesdammim [0658].
35 Jarmuth [03412], and Adullam [05725], Socoh [07755], and Azekah [05825],
30 Zanoah [02182], Adullam [05725], and in their villages [02691], at Lachish [03923], and the fields [07704] thereof, at Azekah [05825], and in the villages [01323] thereof. And they dwelt [02583] from Beersheba [0884] unto the valley [01516] of Hinnom [02011].
7 When the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and against all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] that were left [03498], against Lachish [03923], and against Azekah [05825]: for these defenced [04013] cities [05892] remained [07604] of the cities [05892] of Judah [03063].
9 And Adoraim [0115], and Lachish [03923], and Azekah [05825],
41 And Gederoth [01450], Bethdagon [01016], and Naamah [05279], and Makkedah [04719]; sixteen [08337] [06240] cities [05892] with their villages [02691]:
35 Jarmuth [03412], and Adullam [05725], Socoh [07755], and Azekah [05825],
11 And it came to pass, as they fled [05127] from before [06440] Israel [03478], and were in the going down [04174] to Bethhoron [01032], that the LORD [03068] cast down [07993] great [01419] stones [068] from heaven [08064] upon them unto Azekah [05825], and they died [04191]: they were more [07227] which died [04191] with hailstones [01259] [068] than they whom [0834] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slew [02026] with the sword [02719].
21 And all the people [05971] returned [07725] to the camp [04264] to Joshua [03091] at Makkedah [04719] in peace [07965]: none moved [02782] his tongue [03956] against any [0376] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
16 But these five [02568] kings [04428] fled [05127], and hid [02244] themselves in a cave [04631] at Makkedah [04719].
11 And it came to pass, as they fled [05127] from before [06440] Israel [03478], and were in the going down [04174] to Bethhoron [01032], that the LORD [03068] cast down [07993] great [01419] stones [068] from heaven [08064] upon them unto Azekah [05825], and they died [04191]: they were more [07227] which died [04191] with hailstones [01259] [068] than they whom [0834] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slew [02026] with the sword [02719].
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning [01242] watch [0821] the LORD [03068] looked [08259] unto the host [04264] of the Egyptians [04714] through the pillar [05982] of fire [0784] and of the cloud [06051], and troubled [02000] the host [04264] of the Egyptians [04714],
6 Cast forth [01299] lightning [01300], and scatter [06327] them: shoot out [07971] thine arrows [02671], and destroy [02000] them.
15 Then the channels [0650] of waters [04325] were seen [07200], and the foundations [04146] of the world [08398] were discovered [01540] at thy rebuke [01606], O LORD [03068], at the blast [05397] of the breath [07307] of thy nostrils [0639].
10 And as Samuel [08050] was offering up [05927] the burnt offering [05930], the Philistines [06430] drew near [05066] to battle [04421] against Israel [03478]: but the LORD [03068] thundered [07481] with a great [01419] thunder [06963] on that day [03117] upon the Philistines [06430], and discomfited [02000] them; and they were smitten [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478].
11 And it came to pass, as they fled [05127] from before [06440] Israel [03478], and were in the going down [04174] to Bethhoron [01032], that the LORD [03068] cast down [07993] great [01419] stones [068] from heaven [08064] upon them unto Azekah [05825], and they died [04191]: they were more [07227] which died [04191] with hailstones [01259] [068] than they whom [0834] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slew [02026] with the sword [02719].
27 I will send [07971] my fear [0367] before [06440] thee, and will destroy [02000] all the people [05971] to whom thou shalt come [0935], and I will make [05414] all thine enemies [0341] turn their backs [06203] unto thee.
10 And the LORD [03068] discomfited [02000] them before [06440] Israel [03478], and slew [05221] them with a great [01419] slaughter [04347] at Gibeon [01391], and chased [07291] them along the way [01870] that goeth up [04608] to Bethhoron [01032], and smote [05221] them to Azekah [05825], and unto Makkedah [04719].
9 Joshua [03091] therefore came [0935] unto them suddenly [06597], and went up [05927] from Gilgal [01537] all night [03915].
18 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Stretch out [05186] the spear [03591] that is in thy hand [03027] toward Ai [05857]; for I will give [05414] it into thine hand [03027]. And Joshua [03091] stretched out [05186] the spear [03591] that he had in his hand [03027] toward the city [05892].
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Fear [03372] not, neither be thou dismayed [02865]: take [03947] all the people [05971] of war [04421] with thee, and arise [06965], go up [05927] to Ai [05857]: see [07200], I have given [05414] into thy hand [03027] the king [04428] of Ai [05857], and his people [05971], and his city [05892], and his land [0776]:
2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], See [07200], I have given [05414] into thine hand [03027] Jericho [03405], and the king [04428] thereof, and the mighty men [01368] of valour [02428].
24 And they said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Truly [03588] the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] into our hands [03027] all the land [0776]; for even all the inhabitants [03427] of the country [0776] do faint [04127] because [06440] of us.
8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Fear [03372] them not: for I have delivered [05414] them into thine hand [03027]; there shall not a man [0376] of them stand [05975] before [06440] thee.
7 So Joshua [03091] ascended [05927] from Gilgal [01537], he, and all the people [05971] of war [04421] with him, and all the mighty [01368] men of valour [02428].
3 Wherefore Adonizedek [0139] king [04428] of Jerusalem [03389] sent [07971] unto Hoham [01944] king [04428] of Hebron [02275], and unto Piram [06502] king [04428] of Jarmuth [03412], and unto Japhia [03309] king [04428] of Lachish [03923], and unto Debir [01688] king [04428] of Eglon [05700], saying [0559],
