13:1-7 This chapter begins a new section in the book of Joshua. Israel is transitioning from conquest to settlement in Canaan. Three major geographical areas remain to be conquered: (1) Philistia, including the five major cities of the Philistines: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gath and Ekron (vv. 2-3); (2) the Phoenician coast (v. 4); and (3) the Lebanon mountain range (v. 5). By this time Joshua has aged and is nearing the end of his life.
