King James Translators' Notes

drawn: Heb. pulled


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

8:3-22 Observe Joshua's conduct and prudence. Those that would maintain their spiritual conflicts must not love their ease. Probably he went into the valley alone, to pray to God for a blessing, and he did not seek in vain. He never drew back till the work was done. Those that have stretched out their hands against their spiritual enemies, must never draw them back.


Joshua 8:5 I and all those with me will advance on the city, and when the men come out against us, as they did before, we will flee from them.
Joshua 8:7 you are to rise up from ambush and take the city. The LORD your God will give it into your hand.
