Joshua 12:1-24These axe the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote. The goodness and severity of GodThis chapter is a short summary of the work that has been done. In this resume of the conquest Moses is not forgotten. He is named as well as Joshua. The Holy Ghost delights to point out how God causes many instruments to work out His designs, and thus takes all praise from man.
