Joshua 10-17a

Joshua
10.1  Adoni-Zedek and co...  Theme for this chapter is, "Another one bites the dust."
10.19-23...  This sounds like an awesome movie plot.
10.28  Makedah
10.29  Libnah
10.31  Lachish
10.33  Gezer
10.34  Eglon
10.36  Hebron
10.38  Debir
10.40  the South
11.10  Hazor...
11.12  those kings
11.16  all this land...
11.23  Then the land rested from war...  A sweet sentence.
12.2  Sihon...
12.4  Og...
12.7  kings of the country...
13.22  killed with the sword Balaam the son of  Beor...
13.24  inheritance to the tribe of Gad...
13.29  inheritance to the half the tribe of Manasseh...
13.33  to the tribe of Levi...
14.6  and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him...
14.15  Then the land had rest from war...
15.1  to the tribe of the children of Judah...
15.13  Now Caleb...
15.20  The was the inheritance of ...  Judah ... the cities...
15.63  Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem ... could not drive them out...  Now this is a puzzling statement.  From a spiritual perspective, why not?
16.1  to the children of Joseph...
17.1  for the tribe of Manasseh...
17.3  daughters of Zelophehad...
17.12-13  could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities...  I wonder how you can put them to forced labor, but not be able to drive them out?

Joshua 8-9

Joshua
9.14  but they did not consult the Lord...  It is easy to look back over thousands of years and say, "Well, duh, they should have remembered to do that, but we forget too (all the time).
