Joshua 11:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Great Zidon A great city in the northwest part of Canaan, upon the sea. Misrephoth-maim A place not far from Zidon, supposed to be so called from the salt or glass which they made there. Valley of Mizpeh Under mount Hermon, as appears by comparing this with verses

3 and 17, where it seems to be called the valley of Lebanon. This lay on the east, as Zidon did on the west; and so it seems they fled several ways, and the Israelites also divided themselves into two bodies, one pursuing east, and the other west.

Joshua 11:8

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