Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 10:10-11

_ _ Joshua 10:10-11. God fights against them with hailstones.

_ _ the Lord discomfited themHebrew, “terrified,” confounded the Amorite allies, probably by a fearful storm of lightning and thunder. So the word is usually employed (1 Samuel 7:10; Psalms 18:13; Psalms 144:6).

_ _ and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon — This refers to the attack of the Israelites upon the besiegers. It is evident that there had been much hard fighting around the heights of Gibeon, for the day was far spent before the enemy took to flight.

_ _ chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon — that is, “the House of Caves,” of which there are still traces existing. There were two contiguous villages of that name, upper and nether. Upper Beth-horon was nearest Gibeon — about ten miles distant, and approached by a gradual ascent through a long and precipitous ravine. This was the first stage of the flight. The fugitives had crossed the high ridge of Upper Beth-horon, and were in full flight down the descent to Beth-horon the Nether. The road between the two places is so rocky and rugged that there is a path made by means of steps cut in the rock [Robinson]. Down this pass Joshua continued his victorious rout. Here it was that the Lord interposed, assisting His people by means of a storm, which, having been probably gathering all day, burst with such irresistible fury, that “they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.” The Oriental hailstorm is a terrific agent; the hailstones are masses of ice, large as walnuts, and sometimes as two fists; their prodigious size, and the violence with which they fall, make them always very injurious to property, and often fatal to life. The miraculous feature of this tempest, which fell on the Amorite army, was the entire preservation of the Israelites from its destructive ravages.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 10:7-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 10:10

At Gibeon — Heb. in Gibeon, not in the city, but in the territory belonging to it.
