Joshua 9 - 11

After destroying Jericho and Ai, the people living in Gibeon deceived Joshua and the people into making a peace treaty with them. Joshua and the elders in Israel failed to seek the Lord before making this treaty, so they would become temple servants going forward. God brought about a great victory over 5 Amorite kings who attempted to punish the inhabitants of Gibeon.

Chapters 10-11 recount many battles against the nations of that land, and the Lord gave Joshua total victory over every king and city and nation they fought against. First conquering most of the nations in the south, and then into Galilee and to Mount Herman in the north. However, not all of the nations were destroyed and ejected.
