* Lachish.
   Lachish was also situated in the south of Judah, seven miles
   south from Eleutheropolis, according to Eusebius and Jerome.
   It appears to have been anciently a very strong place; for
   though the people were panic struck, and the Israelites
   flushed with success, yet Joshua could not reduce it till the
   second day; and the king of Assyria afterwards was obliged to
   raise the siege.
