- Eusebius and Jerome say it was a village in their time, seven miles south from Eleutheropolis. "Wherefore Adonizedekª kingª of Jerusalemª sentª° unto¹ Hohamª kingª of Hebron,ª and unto¹ Piramª kingª of Jarmuth,ª and unto¹ Japhiaª kingª of Lachish,ª and unto¹ Debirª kingª of Eglon,ª saying,ª°" {Jsh 10:3} + "And they didª° so,¹ and brought forthª°¹ those¹ fiveª kingsª unto¹ him out of¹ the cave,ª¹ the kingª of Jerusalem,ª¹ the kingª of Hebron,ª¹ the kingª of Jarmuth,ª¹ the kingª of Lachish,ª [and]¹ the kingª of Eglon.ª" {Jsh 10:23} + "And Joshuaª passedª° from Libnah,ª¹ and all¹ Israelª with¹ him, unto Lachish,ª and encampedª° against¹ it, and foughtª° against it: ... And the LORDª deliveredª°¹ Lachishª into the handª of Israel,ª which tookª° it on the secondª day,ª and smoteª° it with the edgeª of the sword,ª and all¹ the soulsª that¹ [were] therein, according to all¹ that¹ he had doneª° to Libnah.ª" {Jsh 10:31-32}
