Synopsis
In this passage, Joshua and the Israelites continue their takeover of the Promised Land. They conquer quite a few cities in this passage:- Libnah
- Lachish
- The passage specifically says that they took Lachish on the second day, although it’s not specified how many days it took for most of the other cities, so I don’t know if this is quicker or slower.
- In this instance, another king—Horam king of Gezer—comes to try and help the people of Lachish, but the Israelites defeat him, too.
- Eglon
- It only took the Israelites one day to take Eglon
- Hebron
- Debir
And why were they so successful?
All these kings and their lands Joshua conquered in one campaign, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. (verse 42)
