What Does Joshua 15:39 Mean?
Among these towns is Lachish, a strong and important city of the Shephelah, along with Bozkath and Eglon. Lachish had been among the cities whose kings opposed Joshua and were defeated in the southern campaign.
A city once arrayed against God's people now belongs to them. What stood in defiance is brought into the inheritance. The Lord overturns the strongholds of opposition and gives them as a possession to those who walk with Him.
