Joshua and the nation of Israel begin to conquer the land promised to them by God. Having entered into the midst of the country at Jericho and Ai, they begin to campaign southward, defeating an alliance of 5 major kings and their territories.
Hearing of the southern defeats, the kingdoms in the north form an allied army; but they, too, are defeated by Joshua and the nation of Israel. All that was told to Joshua to do by Moses was done. Everything was followed to the letter.
A listing of the defeated kings - 31 in all - is given as testimony that God was fulfilling His promises to this nation of obedient followers.
