Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Joshua 11How could the Israelites quickly overwhelm multiple allied armies, as described in Joshua 11:1-5? Joshua 15:63 states that the men of Judah could not dislodge the Jebusites from Jerusalem; how does this align with claims of total conquest elsewhere in the book? How does the absolute obedience in Joshua 11:12-15 align with prior instructions about sparing certain peoples? How does Moses praise God for His deliverance?Verse 15. - As the Lord Commanded Moses (see note on Joshua 10:40). So did Joshua. The implicit obedience of Joshua to all the commands he had received of God, whether directly or indirectly through Moses, is a striking feature of his character. Like most great soldiers, he possessed remarkable simplicity of disposition. He reminds us, in his rapidity of conception and execution, of Napoleon, but in his single minded eye to duty he is much more like our own Wellington. Only one instance in which he erred, that of the league with Gibeon, is recorded, and this was but an illlustration of the unsuspicious straightforwardness of his character (see notes on Joshua 19:49-51; 23:2; 24:15).
