Readng for October 25th

 Read  Joshua 10.16-27. In 10.16-27: Executing the five kings. In verse 16: Makkedah was the southernmost limit of the enemy's flight (v. 10) and the starting point for the final phase of the campaign (v. 28), In verse 20: In spite of Joshua's energetic pursuit (v. 19), survivors do escape to the fortified towns, thus setting up the need for attacks on Lachish, Eglon, and Hebron (vv. 31,34, 36), In verse 24: Feet on the necks of enemy, long symbolizes total victory (Ps 110.1). In verses 26-27:Exposing enemy bodies was a humiliating insult (1 Sam 31.10; 2 Sam 4.12). Joshua obeys Deut 21.22-23. These large stones were presumably a well-known landmark (compare 7.26, 8.29).
