Exodus 17:10

So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Ver. 10. Aaron, and Hur.] This Hur, saith Josephus, was husband to Miriam, and Moses's deputy. Exo 24:14

Went up to the top of a hill.] To pray together. In the congregation where the saints are praying, there the arrow, shield, and spear are broken. Psa 76:3 From thence shalt thou help us, said the people to David; 2Sa 18:3 that is, thy prayers shall prevail with God for our assistance. Non tam praeliando quam precando. The king of Sweden, as soon as he set foot in Germany, fell down to prayer, and he proved very victorious.
