JOSHUA 10:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:”
Lachish besieged — Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish, and laid siege to it and attacked it. Lachish was one of the five cities in the original coalition against Gibeon. Joshua moves northward in the southern campaign. The siege (צָר עָלֶיהָ) indicates that Lachish puts up resistance, requiring siege warfare rather than immediate assault.
