That day Joshua took Makkedah - It is very possible that Makkedah was taken on the evening of the same day in which the miraculous solstice took place; but as to the other cities mentioned in this chapter, they certainly were subdued some days after, as it is not possible that an army, exhausted as this must have been with a whole night' s march, and two days' hard fighting, could have proceeded farther than Makkedah that night; the other cities were successively taken in the following days.
