Context of Joshua 10:42

40So Joshua captured the whole land—the mountains, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes. There were no survivors. He claimed every living creature for the Lord by destroying it, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded. 41So Joshua defeated the people from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza and from all the country of Goshen as far as Gibeon. Joshua captured all these kings and their territories in one campaign because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. 43Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-43Verses 28-43 Joshua made speed in taking these cities.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-43Gibeon and its neighboring cities were on a plateau (high flat place) north of Jerusalem (see study note on 7:2).
