- Joshua 10:10
And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Commentary on Joshua 10:102 voices
Slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon - Multitudes of them fell in the onset; after which they fled, and the Israelites pursued them by the way of Beth-horon. There were two cities of this name, the upper and lower, both in the tribe of Ephraim, and built by Sherah, the daughter of Ephraim, 1Ch 7:24. The situation of these two cities is not exactly known. To Azekah, and unto Makkedah - These two cities were in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:35-41.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
And the Lord discomfited them before Israel,.... Disturbed, troubled, and frightened them, at the appearance and presence of the people of Israel; they were thrown into terror and confusion upon their approach, being so sudden and unexpected: and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon; by the Israelites, who came upon them suddenly: and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron; there were two places of this name, the upper and the nether, both built by Sherah, the daughter or granddaughter of Ephraim, 1Ch 7:24; therefore here so called by anticipation.

- Joshua 10:11
As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
Commentary on Joshua 10:112 voices
And it came to pass, as they fled before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron,.... The descent of it on that side towards Azekah, and which was also a very narrow passage, of which Josephus (s) makes mention.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Compare Ecclesiasticus 46:6. Frightful storms occasionally sweep over the hills of Judaea; but this was evidently a miraculous occurrence, like the hail which smote Egypt Exo 9:24 and the tempest which fell on the Philistines at Ebenezer 1Sa 7:10.

- Joshua 15:35
Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, Azekah,
Commentary on Joshua 15:352 voices
Jarmuth, and Adullam,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Jarmuth - See the note on Jos 10:3. Adullam - See the note on Jos 12:15. Socoh - It was near this place that David fought with and slew Goliath, the champion of the Philistines, 1Sa 17:1.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Samuel 17:1
Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:12 voices
The narrative reverts to the Philistine wars 1Sa 14:52; the other introductory details concerning Sauls rejection, and Davids introduction upon the stage of the history, having been disposed of in the intermediate chapters. Shochoh which belongeth to Judah - See the marginal reference which places Shochoh and Azekah in the Shephelah or maritime plain, and 2Ch 28:18, Shochoh now Shuweikeh, nine miles from Eleutheropolis, Jerome. Ephes-dammim - Called Happas-dammim (Pas-dammim, 1Ch 11:13), the end of bloodshed, now Damun, about 4 miles northeast of Shuweikeh.

- 2 Chronicles 11:9
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:92 voices
And Adoraim,.... Called by Josephus (d) Adora, which he mentions along with Mareshah, or Marissa: and Lachish: a royal city in the time of the Canaanites, and which fell to the lot of Judah, Jos 12:11, and Azekah; a city situated in the plain of Judah, Jos 10:10. (d) Antiqu. l. 13. c. 9. sect. 1.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The site of Adoraim is uncertain. For Lachish, see Jos 10:3; Azekah, Jos 10:10; Zorah, Jos 15:33; Aijalon, Jos 10:12; Hebron, Jos 14:15. No one of the cities was really within the limits of the tribe of Benjamin. The writer uses the phrase Judah and Benjamin merely as the common designation of the southern kingdom (compare 2Ch 11:12 and 2Ch 11:23).
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Nehemiah 11:30
Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; and in Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom.
- Jeremiah 34:7
as the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah.
Commentary on Jeremiah 34:72 voices
This marks the exact time, that it was early in the campaign, while the outlying fortresses still occupied the attention of Nebuchadnezzars army. Lachish and Azekah were strong cities in the plain toward Egypt and must be taken before the Chaldseans could march upon Jerusalem: otherwise the Egyptians might collect there and fall upon them.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
