Lachish |
 | | The king of Lachish was one of the five kings of the Canaanites who fought against Joshua at the city of Gibeon and who were killed at the cave of Makkedah (Joshua 10:23). |
| | In Middle Bronze II Lachish was an important Canaanite fortress, protected by a glacis and a moat. |
| | After the Captivity, although the region of Lachish was part of the Persian province of Idumaea, returning Jews resettled the city (Nehemiah 11:30). |
