Josh. 12:1–24 Before the land is divided and assigned to the tribes, the conquest is summarized. Verses 1–6 describe the land beyond the Jordan (that is, east of the Jordan) that Israel had conquered under Moses (Num. 21:21–35). Joshua 12:7–24 lists the kings whom Joshua and the people of Israel defeated on the west side of the Jordan.
Josh. 12:1 took possession of their land. It now falls to Israel to prove faithful in occupying the territories.
Josh. 12:9 The list of defeated kings generally follows the route of the preceding narrative: the central, southern, and northern campaigns. Some kings who were not mentioned during the narrative of the conquest are included in this list. This reminds readers that this is not a complete report of Israel’s history.
Josh. 12:24 This list of thirty-one kings suggests Israel’s overall success in gaining the upper hand in Canaan and in conquering the leaders who fought against them. It does not necessarily mean that all the cities formerly ruled by these kings were destroyed.
