Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 10:6

"And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us." — Joshua 10:6 (ASV)

The Amorites that dwell in the mountains —that is, in the mountainous district lying south of Jerusalem.
