So the Lord was with Joshua
Counselling and directing him what to do, prospering and succeeding him in all that he engaged; the Targum is,

the essential Word, Christ the Son of God, called the Captain of the Lord's host, ( Joshua 5:14 Joshua 5:15 ) ; and who, continued with him speaking to him and giving him orders, ( Joshua 6:2 ) ;

and his fame was [noised] throughout all the country;
for his wisdom and courage, for the wonderful things done for him and by him, and the great success that attended him, through the power and presence of God with him; which struck terror into the inhabitants of the land, and made his conquest of it the more easy.

Joshua 6:27 In-Context

25 Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute, her family, and all who were with her, because Rahab had helped the men he had sent to spy out Jericho. Rahab still lives among the Israelites today.

26 Then Joshua made this oath: "Anyone who tries to rebuild this city of Jericho will be cursed by the Lord. The one who lays the foundation of this city will lose his oldest son, and the one who sets up the gates will lose his youngest son."
