Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Jos 10:28 - And that day

On which the sun stood still. Nor is it strange that so much work was done, and places so far distant taken in one day, when the day was so long, and the Canaanites struck with such a terror.

Clarke: Jos 10:28 - That day Joshua took Makkedah

That day Joshua took Makkedah - It is very possible that Makkedah was taken on the evening of the same day in which the miraculous solstice took place; but as to the other cities mentioned in this chapter, they certainly were subdued some days after, as it is not possible that an army, exhausted as this must have been with a whole night’ s march, and two days’ hard fighting, could have proceeded farther than Makkedah that night; the other cities were successively taken in the following days.

Poole: Jos 10:28 - That day

That day on which the sun stood still, or on which the five kings were hanged. Nor is it strange that so much work was done, and places so far distant taken, in one day, when the day was so long, and the Canaanites struck with such a terror. The king of Jericho was hanged , or otherwise killed, as appears from Jos 6:2 .

Haydock: Jos 10:28 - Remains

Remains of inhabitants. (Calmet) ---

The king was gibbeted and stoned. (Haydock)

Gill: Jos 10:28 - And that day Joshua took Makkedah // and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof // he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he let none remain // and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho

And that day Joshua took Makkedah,.... Some say it was the day on which the sun stood still; but it seems to mean the day in which the five kings were hanged:

and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof; slew the inhabitants of it and their king, after having entered and taken it:

he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he let none remain; that is, all human souls or persons; for the cattle were taken for a prey:

and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho; slew him with the sword, along with the inhabitants, but did not hang him up, as he did the king of Ai and the five kings.
