Notes
God commanded Joshua to follow the torah of Moses, or "Book of the Law" (1:7–10). After the two main campaigns to defeat Canaan, the one narrating this story reported that Joshua had obeyed all the commands with loyalty to God.
This second major section of the book records Joshua's southern and northern campaigns against two coalitions of kings from Canaan. Joshua's victories allowed Israel to settle the hill country from Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south.
