TSK · Jeremiah 41:9

The five Amorite kings ran away and hid in the cave at Makkedah.

The men of Israel realized they had a problem because their army was hard pressed. So the army hid in caves, thickets, cliffs, strongholds, and cisterns.

When all the Israelites who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, they too pursued them in battle.

At this very moment he is hiding out in one of the caves or in some other similar place. If it should turn out that he attacks our troops first, whoever hears about it will say,‘Absalom’s army has been slaughtered!’

King Asa ordered all the men of Judah(no exemptions were granted) to carry away the stones and wood that Baasha had used to build Ramah. King Asa used the materials to build up Geba(in Benjamin) and Mizpah.

(the world was not worthy of them); they wandered in deserts and mountains and caves and openings in the earth.
