Josué 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:18

Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
] For, though the account of the conquest of them is put together, and lies in a small compass, yet those victories were not obtained at once, or in a few days, as were those of the five kings, and others, related in the preceding chapter, ( Joshua 10:10-14 ) ; but were the work of some years; Josephus F2 says five years, but the common notion of the Jews is, that Joshua was seven years in subduing the land of Canaan F3; our Bishop Usher F4 thinks it was done in six years; and it may be concluded that it was about six or seven years ere this work was completely finished.

Josué 11:18 In-Context

16 Josu茅 logr贸 conquistar toda aquella tierra: la regi贸n monta帽osa, todo el N茅guev, toda la regi贸n de Gos茅n, el valle, el Arab谩, la regi贸n monta帽osa de Israel y su valle.
17 Tambi茅n se apoder贸 de todos los territorios, desde la monta帽a de Jalac que se eleva hacia Se铆r, hasta Baal Gad en el valle del L铆bano, a las faldas del monte Herm贸n. Josu茅 captur贸 a todos los reyes de esa regi贸n y los ejecut贸,
18 despu茅s de combatir con ellos por largo tiempo.
19 Ninguna ciudad hizo tratado de ayuda mutua con los israelitas, excepto los heveos de Gaba贸n. A todas esas ciudades Josu茅 las derrot贸 en el campo de batalla,
20 porque el SE脩OR endureci贸 el coraz贸n de los enemigos para que entablaran guerra con Israel. As铆 ser铆an exterminados sin compasi贸n alguna, seg煤n el mandato que el SE脩OR le hab铆a dado a Mois茅s.
