What Does Joshua 15:41 Mean?

This lowland cluster closes with Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah, counted as sixteen cities with their villages. Makkedah was the cave where five kings once hid and were captured in Joshua's campaign.

The town where enemy kings had cowered in a cave now rests securely in Judah's hand. The places of past battle become the homes of God's people. He turns the scenes of conflict into settled possession, that His own may dwell in peace.
