Joshua 11:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Zidon, a great and famous city in the north-west part of Canaan, and 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. The valley of Mizpeh, under Mount Hermon, as appears by comparing this with Joshua 11:3,17, 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.
