Vertaling Bijbel, Kanttekeningen SV, [], Toen toog Jozua door, en [28]gans Israel met hem, van Makkeda naar [29]Libna, en hij krijgde tegen Libna. Keil & Delitzsch, Commentary on the Old Testament, [], Jos_10:29-30 From Makkedah he went with all Israel, i.e., all the men of war, against Libnah, and after effecting the conquest of it, did just the same as he had done to Makkedah. Libnah was one of the towns of the plain or of the hill-country of Judah (Jos_15:42); it was allotted to the priests (Jos_21:13), revolted from Judah in the reign of Joram (2Ki_8:22), and was besieged by Sennacherib (Isa_37:8). It is to be sought on the north-west of Lachish, not on the south as Knobel erroneously infers from Isa_37:8. According to the Onom. (s. v. Lebna), it was at that time villa in regione Eleutheropolitana, quae appellatur Lobna. It has not been discovered yet; but according to the very probable conjecture of V. de Velde (Mem. p. 330), the ruins of it may perhaps be seen upon the hill called Arâk el Menshiyeh, about two hours to the wets of Beit Jibrin.
(Note: Knobel is decidedly wrong in his supposition, that Libnah is to be seen in the considerable ruins called Hora, which lie in the plain (Seetzen and V. de Velde) and are called Hawara by Robinson. He founds his conjecture upon the fact that the name signifies white, and is the Arabic translation of the Hebrew name. But Hora is only two hours and a half to the north of Beersheba, and is not in the plain at all, but in the Negeb.)
