38 Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned around and attacked Debir.
38 Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned back to Debir and fought against it
38 Then Joshua, all Israel with him, turned toward Debir and attacked it.
38 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and they fought against it.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 10:38
Commentary on Joshua 10:28-43
(Read Joshua 10:28-43)
Joshua made speed in taking these cities. See what a great deal of work may be done in a little time, if we will be diligent, and improve our opportunities. God here showed his hatred of the idolatries and other abominations of which the Canaanites had been guilty, and shows us how great the provocation was, by the greatness of the destruction brought upon them. Here also was typified the destruction of all the enemies of the Lord Jesus, who, having slighted the riches of his grace, must for ever feel the weight of his wrath. The Lord fought for Israel. They could not have gotten the victory, if God had not undertaken the battle. We conquer when God fights for us; if he be for us, who can be against us?
