JOSHUA 10:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.”
Lachish conquered — The LORD gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day and struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah. The conquest takes two days—longer than Makkedah and Libnah—indicating genuine resistance. Yet the outcome is the same: the ban is fully implemented. The phrase 'on the second day' suggests a brief siege, successful by the second dawn assault.
