Keil and Delitzsch ong>Commentaryong> on the Old Testament And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. "And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. He made them hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and indeed for the altar of the Lord," (assigning them) "to the place which God would choose," viz., for the altar. 'el-hamaaqowm (to the place) is grammatically dependent upon wayitªneem (OT:5414) (he "gave them"). It by no means follows, however, that Joshua sent them there at that very time, but simply that he sentenced them to service at the altar in the place which would be chosen for the sanctuary. From the words "unto this day," it no doubt follows, on the one hand, that the account was written after the fact had taken place; but, on the other hand, it also follows from the future yibªchar (OT:977) (should, or shall choose), that it was written before the place was http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos53.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:17:43 p.m.]

Keil and Delitzsch ong>Commentaryong> on the Old Testament definitely fixed, and therefore before the building of Solomon's temple. Victory at Gibeon, and Conquest of Southern Canaan. Ch. 10. Joshua 10:1-4 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; The report that Joshua had taken Ai, and put it, like Jericho, under the ban, and that the Gibeonites had concluded a treaty with Israel, filled Adonizedek the king of Jerusalem with alarm, as Gibeon was a large town, like one of the king's towns, even larger than Ai, and its inhabitants were brave men. He therefore joined with the kings of Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon, to make a common attack upon Gibeon, and punish it for its alliance with the Israelites, and at the same time to put a check upon the further conquests of Israel. Adonizedek , i.e., lord of righteousness, is synonymous with Melchizedek (king of righteousness), and was a title of the Jebusite kings, as Pharaoh was of the Egyptian. Jerusalem , i.e., the founding or possession of peace, called Salem in the time of Abraham (Gen 14:18), was the proper name of the town, which was also frequently called by the name of its Canaanitish inhabitants Jebus (Judg 19:10-11; 1 Chron 11:4), or "city of the Jebusite" ( Ir-Jebusi , Judg 19:11), sometimes also in a contracted form, Jebusi ( hayªbuwciy (OT:2983), Josh 18:16,28; 15:8; 2 Sam 5:8). (Note: In our English version, we have the Hebrew word itself simply transposed in Josh 18:16,28; whilst it is rendered "the Jebusite" in Josh 15:8, and "the Jebusites" in 2 Sam 5:8. - Tr.) On the division of the land it was allotted to the tribe of Benjamin (Josh 18:28); but being situated upon the border of Judah (Josh 15:8), it was conquered, and burned by http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos54.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:17:44 p.m.]
