SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:28
¶ En aquel mismo día tomó Josué a Maceda, y la puso a cuchillo, y mató a su rey; a ellos y a todo lo que en ella tenía vida, sin quedar nada; mas al rey de Maceda hizo como había hecho al rey de Jericó.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:28
Verse 28. That day Joshua took Makkedah] It is very possible that Makkedah was taken on the evening of the same day in which the miraculous solstice took place; but as to the other cities mentioned in this chapter, they certainly were subdued some days after, as it is not possible that an army, exhausted as this must have been with a whole night's march, and two days' hard fighting, could have proceeded farther than Makkedah that night; the other cities were successively taken in the following days.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. And that day Joshua took Makkedah , etc.] Some say it was the day on which the sun stood still; but it seems to mean the day in which the five kings were hanged: and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof ; slew the inhabitants of it and their king, after having entered and taken it: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that [were] therein, he let none remain ; that is, all human souls or persons; for the cattle were taken for a prey: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho ; slew him with the sword, along with the inhabitants, but did not hang him up, as he did the king of Ai and the five kings.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-43 - Joshua made speed in taking these cities. See what a great deal of wor may be done in a little time, if we will be diligent, and improve ou opportunities. God here showed his hatred of the idolatries and othe abominations of which the Canaanites had been guilty, and shows us ho great the provocation was, by the greatness of the destruction brough upon them. Here also was typified the destruction of all the enemies of the Lord Jesus, who, having slighted the riches of his grace, must for ever feel the weight of his wrath. The Lord fought for Israel. The could not have gotten the victory, if God had not undertaken the battle. We conquer when God fights for us; if he be for us, who can be against us __________________________________________________________________
