John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And Joshua returned, etc.] After all these kings and their cities had been taken by him, and not before; though the same is said, (<061015>Joshua 10:15), before the history of those facts; (see Gill on “<061015>Joshua 10:15”): and all Israel with him to the camp in Gilgal; where the body of the people were left, and where was the tabernacle of the Lord; and no doubt he and Israel with him gave public praise and thanksgiving there for the signal victories they had obtained over the Canaanites.”
