Joshua 10:31-34
Lachish Lachish was also situated in the south of Judah, seven miles south from Eleutheropolis, according to Eusebius and Jerome. It appears to have been anciently a very strong place; for though the people were panic struck, and the Israelites flushed with success, yet Joshua could not reduce it till the second day; and the king of Assyria afterwards was obliged to raise the siege. Josh 10:3, Josh 10:5, Josh 12:11, Josh 15:39; 2Kgs 19:8; 2Chr 11:9; Isa 37:8; Mic 1:13 to Libnah Josh 10:30 Gezer Gezer was situated on the confines of Ephraim and Manasseh, between Beth-horon and the sea; and is evidently the village of Gazara mentioned by Eusebius, four miles (north) from Nicopolis or Emmaus. Josh 12:12, Josh 16:3, Josh 16:10, Josh 21:21; Judg 1:29; 1Kgs 9:16-17; 1Chr 6:67, 1Chr 20:4 Eglon This town appears to have been no great distance from Lachish, with which it is mentioned, Josh 15:39, as one of the cities given to Judah.
