Conquest of the Southern Cities
35That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish. 36Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it. 37They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.…

Then Joshua
The name "Joshua" is derived from the Hebrew name "Yehoshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." Joshua, as the leader of Israel, is a type of Christ, leading God's people into the Promised Land. His role as a military leader and spiritual guide reflects the divine mission to fulfill God's promises to Israel. Joshua's actions are not merely military conquests but are seen as acts of obedience to God's commands.

and all Israel with him
This phrase emphasizes the unity and collective effort of the Israelites under Joshua's leadership. The term "all Israel" signifies the entire nation, representing the twelve tribes. This unity is crucial for the success of their mission, reflecting the biblical principle that God's people must work together in harmony to achieve His purposes. It also underscores the communal nature of God's covenant with Israel.

went up from Eglon
Eglon was one of the cities in the southern part of Canaan, and its mention here indicates the strategic military campaign led by Joshua. The phrase "went up" suggests a movement towards a higher elevation, as Hebron is situated in the hill country. This ascent can be seen as symbolic of spiritual elevation, as the Israelites move closer to fulfilling God's promise of the land.

to Hebron
Hebron is a significant city in biblical history, known as the place where Abraham settled and where the patriarchs are buried. It is a city of refuge and a Levitical city, highlighting its spiritual importance. The conquest of Hebron signifies reclaiming a place of ancestral promise and spiritual heritage. It represents the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, as his descendants take possession of the land.

and attacked it
The act of attacking Hebron is part of the divinely sanctioned conquest of Canaan. This phrase reflects the obedience of Joshua and the Israelites to God's command to take possession of the land. Theologically, it represents the spiritual warfare that believers engage in, fighting against sin and reclaiming territory for God's kingdom. The attack is not just a physical battle but a spiritual one, symbolizing the struggle against forces that oppose God's will.

Verse 36. - Went up. The accuracy of the geographical details must here be noticed. Joshua "passes" from one city to another in the plain. He "goes up" to Hebron, which is situated among the hills. See note on ver. 3; cf. also Joshua 11:21; Joshua 14:12. Hebron. Commentators of the school of Maurer and De Wette regard the taking of Hebron and Debir as irreconcilable with Joshua 11:21; Joshua 14:12; Joshua 15:13-17. But this is by no means certain. The operations of Joshua were sudden, and, so far as they went, decisive, But it is never pretended that his conquest of southern Palestine was complete. It is impossible to assert this in the face of such passages as Joshua 16:10, 17:12, 13, and especially in the face of such a fact as the continued existence of the Philistine power. Joshua extirpated the inhabitants of the cities he took, but there were many others - some of at least equal importance - which he did not take. We may instance Gaza, Garb, and Ashdod. See Joshua 11:22. Their inhabitants came and occupied again the cities which Joshua had destroyed, first when he was engaged in operations in the north and west, and again when the Israelites had begun to repose upon their laurels, and to neglect the task God had set them, namely, the complete extermination of the Canaanite race from Palestine. Thus Joshua returned from the north and found a large part of the country he had subdued reoccupied by the giant tribes of the south. He "cut them off from Hebron and Debir," i.e., he compelled them to evacuate those cities, but there was no necessity for a second of either. Yet at a later period they still lurked in the neighborhood (Joshua 14:12), perhaps in the mountain fastnessess (a very common thing in the history of nations, as the history of our own country, of the Basques in the Pyrenees, and of Swiss freedom shows), and were strong enough to regain Debir (Joshua 15:17). Jerusalem itself (see note on ver. 1) had a similar fate. After the capture of Jerusalem the Israelites were unable to hold it permanently (Joshua 15:63; cf. Judges 1:8, 21). And such expressions as "all the cities thereof" show that the south of Palestine was thickly populated. Each city was, like Gibeon, the head of a small confederacy. And as the chief cities smitten by Joshua would have been but a tithe of the confederations existing in the south, the task of reoccupying must have been an easy one. It seems to be implied in Judges 1. that Caleb took Hebron and Debir after Joshua's death.
