Read Joshua 10.28-43. In 10.28-43: Capturing five cities. In verse 31: Three cities (Lachish, Eglon, and Hebron) were part of the earlier coalition, but Jerusalem and Jarmuth (v. 3) are not attacked. No mention is made of the kings of Lachish or Eglon; they have already been killed (vv. 23, 26). In verse 33: Gezer is not captured. It did not ever come part of Israel until the reign of Solomon (1 Kings 9.16-17). In verse 37: mention of a king of Hebron seems to contradict vv. 23, 26. In verse 41: This describes the land conquered so far. The south boundary runs east to west from Kadesh-barrnea to Gaza. Northward it, extends as far as Gibeon. The extent of the country of Goshen (11.16; perhaps 15.51) is unknown. Comments or Questions..
