Joshua 10:5,6 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

If we spiritualize the passage, it affords an interesting view of a distressed soul calling upon Jesus, because of the united force of all his spiritual adversaries. Psalms 3:1-2, to the end. Reader! how stands the case with your soul! Have you, like Gibeon, made your peace with Joshua, Jesus? And are his enemies, and your enemies in consequence of it, come out against you, to battle? These are what I call precious marks of Jesus's love. And to such that promise is very sure. Matthew 5:10.

Joshua 10:5-6

5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
