Yosua 10:10

10:10 The Lord routed ¹  them before Israel. Israel ²  thoroughly defeated them ³  at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass ⁴  of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.

Yosua 10:2

10:2 All Jerusalem was terrified ⁵  because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai and all its men were warriors.

1 Tawarikh 11:9

11:9 David’s power steadily grew, for the Lord who commands armies was with him. ⁶ 

[10:10]  ¹ tn Or “caused to panic.”

[10:10]  ² tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Israel (mentioned at the end of the previous sentence in the verse; cf. NIV, NRSV), but it is also possible that the Lord should be understood as the referent (cf. NASB “and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon”), or even Joshua (cf. NEB “and Joshua defeated them utterly in Gibeon”).

[10:10]  ³ tn Heb “struck them down with a great striking down.”

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Or “ascent.”

[10:2]  ⁵ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

[11:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “and David went, going and becoming great, and the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, Lord of hosts] was with him.”
