Jos 11:1
11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard
     [those things], that he {a} sent to Jobab king of Madon,
     and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

     (a) The more God's power appears, the more the wicked rage
         against it.

Jos 11:2
11:2 And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains,
     and of the plains south of {b} Chinneroth, and in the
     valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,

     (b) Which the evangelists call the lake of Gennesaret, or
         Tiberias.

Jos 11:3
11:3 [And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and
     [to] the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and
     the Jebusite in the mountains, and [to] the Hivite under
     {c} Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

     (c) Which was mount Sion, as in @De 4:48.

Jos 11:6
11:6 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of
     them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up
     all slain before Israel: thou shalt {d} hough their horses,
     and burn their chariots with fire.

     (d) That neither they should serve to the use of war, nor
         the Israelites should put their trust in them.

Jos 11:8
11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who
     smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto {e}
     Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and
     they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

     (e) Which signifies hot waters, or according to some, brine
         pits.

Jos 11:11
11:11 And they smote all the {f} souls that [were] therein with
      the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there
      was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

      (f) Both men, women and children.

Jos 11:13
11:13 But [as for] the cities that stood still in their {g}
      strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only;
      [that] did Joshua burn.

      (g) Which were strong by situation and not hurt by war.

Jos 11:14
11:14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
      children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but
      every {h} man they smote with the edge of the sword, until
      they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

      (h) All mankind.

Jos 11:16
11:16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south
      country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and
      the plain, and the {i} mountain of Israel, and the valley
      of the same;

      (i) That is, Samaria.

Jos 11:17
11:17 [Even] from the mount {k} Halak, that goeth up to Seir,
      even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount
      Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and
      slew them.

      (k) So called, because it was bare and without trees.

Jos 11:20
11:20 For it was of the LORD to {l} harden their hearts, that
      they should come against Israel in battle, that he might
      destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no
      favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD
      commanded Moses.

      (l) That is, to give them over to themselves: and
          therefore they could not but rebel against God and
          seek their own destruction.

Jos 11:22
11:22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the
      children of Israel: only in Gaza, {m} in Gath, and in
      Ashdod, there remained.

      (m) Out of which came Goliath, @1Sa 17:4.
