Context of Joshua 10:41
39They captured it, its king, and all its surrounding cities and put the sword to them. They annihilated everyone who lived there; they left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king what they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron. 40Joshua defeated the whole land, including the hill country, the Negev, the lowlands, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no survivors. He annihilated everything that breathed, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded. Joshua conquered the area between Kadesh Barnea and Gaza and the whole region of Goshen, all the way to Gibeon. 42Joshua captured in one campaign all these kings and their lands, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. 43Then Joshua and all Israel returned to the camp at Gilgal.

Commentaries on Joshua 10:41
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 41And all the country of Goshen - Calmet contends that this was the very same country in which the Hebrews dwelt before their departure from Egypt; and according to this hypothesis he has constructed his map, causing it to extend from the Nile, which was called the river of Egypt, along the frontiers of the land of Cush or Arabia. It however appears plain that there was a city named Goshen in the tribe of Judah, see Joshua 15:51; and this probably gave name…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 41From Kadesh-barnea unto Gaza - Numbers 13:26 This limits Joshua‘s conquests on the west, as the other line, “all the country of Goshen unto Gibeon,” does on the east. Goshen Joshua 15:51 has not been identified. It was in the southern part of the territory of Judah, and is, of course, quite distinct from the Goshen of Genesis 46:28.Read the comment

Here also was typified the destruction of all the enemies of the Lord Jesus, who…Read the comment
