Lachish was a significant Canaanite city, strategically located in the Shephelah region. The phrase underscores the belief that it was not by Israel's might but by God's will that the city was conquered. This reflects the recurring biblical theme of God fighting for Israel, as seen in <a href="/exodus/14-14.htm">Exodus 14:14</a> and <a href="/deuteronomy/20-4.htm">Deuteronomy 20:4</a>. Archaeological evidence suggests Lachish was a fortified city, making its capture a notable event.and Joshua captured it on the second day The mention of the "second day" indicates a relatively swift victory, suggesting both the effectiveness of Joshua's leadership and the demoralization of the Canaanite forces. This rapid conquest contrasts with the prolonged sieges typical of ancient warfare, further highlighting divine assistance. The quick capture also demonstrates the momentum Israel had gained in their campaign, as seen in the broader narrative of Joshua's conquests.He put all the people to the sword This phrase reflects the practice of herem, or the devotion of a city to destruction, which was commanded by God in certain instances (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-2.htm">Deuteronomy 7:2</a>). It signifies the complete eradication of the city's inhabitants, a common practice in ancient Near Eastern warfare intended to prevent future rebellion and idolatry. This action is often difficult for modern readers but was understood within its historical and cultural context as a means of preserving the religious purity of Israel.just as he had done to Libnah Libnah was another Canaanite city that had been previously conquered by Joshua. The comparison to Libnah serves to illustrate the consistency and thoroughness of Joshua's campaign. It also reinforces the idea that the victories were part of a divinely ordained plan, as each city fell in a similar manner. This phrase connects the events at Lachish to the broader narrative of conquest, showing a pattern of divine judgment and fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/joshua.htm">Joshua</a> The leader of Israel, successor to Moses, who led the Israelites in the conquest of Canaan. 2. <a href="/topical/l/lachish.htm">Lachish</a> A significant Canaanite city-state in the Shephelah region of Israel, known for its strategic importance. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a> The God of Israel, who is actively involved in the battles and victories of the Israelites. 4. <a href="/topical/l/libnah.htm">Libnah</a> Another Canaanite city that was previously conquered by Joshua, setting a precedent for the conquest of Lachish. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> The people of God, chosen to inherit the Promised Land and tasked with driving out the inhabitants of Canaan.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/d/divine_sovereignty_in_victory.htm">Divine Sovereignty in Victory</a> Recognize that it is the LORD who grants victory.

When Sennacherib, king of Assyria, "came up against all the fenced cities of Judah and took them" (<a href="/2_kings/18-13.htm" title="Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.">2Kings 18:13</a>), although he "laid siege to Lachish, and all his power with him" (<a href="/2_chronicles/32-9.htm" title="After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,">2Chronicles 32:9</a>), he had to abandon the siege (<a href="/2_kings/19-8.htm" title="So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.">2Kings 19:8</a>). Again, when Nebuchadnezzar invaded the kingdom of Judah in the reign of Zedekiah, the last king, we read ( <a href="/jeremiah/34-7.htm" title="When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defended cities remained of the cities of Judah.">Jeremiah 34:7</a>) of his army fighting "against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah, for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah." All these notices of Lachish point to its being a fortress of considerable strength. And the undesigned and indirect agreement of these three passages, which lie so far asunder, is worthy of observation. <a href="/commentaries/joshua/10-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And the LORD יְהוָ֨ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel delivered וַיִּתֵּן֩ (way·yit·tên) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set Lachish לָכִ֜ישׁ (lā·ḵîš) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3923.htm">Strong's 3923: </a> Lachish -- a Canaanite city Southwest of Jerusalem into the hands בְּיַ֣ד (bə·yaḏ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc and Joshua captured וַֽיִּלְכְּדָהּ֙ (way·yil·kə·ḏāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3920.htm">Strong's 3920: </a> To catch, to capture, occupy, to choose, to cohere it on the second הַשֵּׁנִ֔י (haš·šê·nî) Article | Number - ordinal masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8145.htm">Strong's 8145: </a> Second (an ordinal number) day. בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day He struck down וַיַּכֶּ֣הָ (way·yak·ke·hā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5221.htm">Strong's 5221: </a> To strike all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the people הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ (han·ne·p̄eš) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion with the sword, חֶ֔רֶב (ḥe·reḇ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2719.htm">Strong's 2719: </a> Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, sword just as כְּכֹ֥ל (kə·ḵōl) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every he had done עָשָׂ֖ה (‘ā·śāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make to Libnah. לְלִבְנָֽה׃ (lə·liḇ·nāh) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3841.htm">Strong's 3841: </a> Libnah -- a city in soutwest Judah, also a place in the wilderness <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/10-32.htm">Joshua 10:32 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/10-32.htm">OT History: Joshua 10:32 Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand (Josh.
