Wesley's Notes

11:13 In their strength - Heb. with their fence, walls or bulwarks, that is, which were not ruined with their walls in taking them. Save Hazor - Because this city began the war, and being the chief and royal city, might renew the war. If the Canaanites should ever seize upon it: which in fact they did, and settled there, under a king of the same name, Judges 4:2.

King James Translators' Notes

in their...: Heb. on their heap

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

13. as for the cities that stood still in their strength-literally, "on their heaps." It was a Phonician custom to build cities on heights, natural or artificial [Hengstenberg].

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:10-14 The Canaanites filled up the measure of their iniquity, and were, as a judgment, left to the pride, obstinacy, and enmity of their hearts, and to the power of Satan; all restraints being withdrawn, while the dispensations of Providence tended to drive them to despair. They brought on themselves the vengeance they justly merited, of which the Israelites were to be executioners, by the command the Lord gave to Moses.


Joshua 11:12 Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.
Joshua 11:14 All the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took as their plunder; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no one who breathed. (NASB ©1995)

But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

in their [heb] on their heap The Vulgate, Syriac, Onkelos and Weterland render {al tillom}, `on their hills.' As the cities of the plain might be easily attacked and carried, Joshua destroyed; but as those on mountains, hills, or other eminences, might be retained by him with little trouble, prudence would dictate their preservation Jer 30:18
