Commentaries and Concordances

MHC:

8:3-22 Observe Joshua's conduct and prudence. Those that would maintain their spiritual conflicts must not love their ease. Probably he went into the valley alone, to pray to God for a blessing, and he did not seek in vain. He never drew back till the work was done. Those that have stretched out their hands against their spiritual enemies, must never draw them back.

CONC:

Drawn Fled Flee Fleeing Flight Got Lured Running Till Town

City Drawn Lured Pursue Running They Time
