Commentary

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish,.... Which, acco rding to Bunting (d), was eight miles from Libnah, and twenty miles from Jerusalem to the southwest of this city; see Jos 10:5 , and encamped against it, and fought against it; for it seems this city stood out, and would not surrender at once, which obliged Joshua to encamp about it, and besiege it. (d) Travels of the Patriarchs, &c. p. 96.
