Makkedah Situated, according to Eusebius, 8 miles east from Eleutheropolis. It was afterwards assigned to the tribe of Judah.

It is probably the Libnah in the neighbourhood of which the Israelites encamped. Josh 12:15, Josh 15:42, Josh 21:13; Num 33:20; 2Kgs 8:22, 2Kgs 19:8; Jer 52:1, as he did, Josh 10:28, Josh 6:21, Josh 8:2, Josh 8:29 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. Josh 10:3, Josh 12:12, Josh 15:39 on that day Josh 10:32 utterly Josh 10:37; Lev 26:44; Job 19:10 Hebron Josh 10:3, Josh 10:5, Josh 14:13-14, Josh 15:13, Josh 15:54, Josh 21:13; Gen 13:18; Num 13:22; Judg 1:10; 2Sam 5:1-5, 2Sam 15:9-10; 1Chr 12:23, 1Chr 12:28 the king From Josh 10:23, we learn that the king of Hebron was one of the five whom Joshua slew and hanged on five trees at Makkedah. This slaying of the king of Hebron, therefore, must either refer to what had already been done, or the Hebronites had set up another, whom Joshua now slew when he took the city. according Josh 10:35 Debir Debir was situated in the south of the tribe of Judah, near Hebron. The expression of Joshua's returning to Debir, probably denotes, that having carried his conquests in the southern parts as far as Gaza (Josh 10:41), which was in the south-west angle of Canaan, he then marched back to besiege Debir. Josh 12:13, Josh 15:15, Josh 15:49, Josh 21:15; Judg 1:11-15 he left none Josh 10:33, Josh 10:37, Josh 10:40, Josh 11:8; Deut 3:3; 2Kgs 10:11; Obad 1:18
