2019-09-20 [여호수아(Joshua) 10:29 - 10:43]

29	Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
30	And the LORD gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel. And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31	Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish and laid siege to it and fought against it.
32	And the LORD gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day and struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.
33	Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish. And Joshua struck him and his people, until he left none remaining.
34	Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Lachish to Eglon. And they laid siege to it and fought against it.
35	And they captured it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. And he devoted every person in it to destruction that day, as he had done to Lachish.
36	Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron. And they fought against it
37	and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its towns, and every person in it. He left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and devoted it to destruction and every person in it.
38	Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned back to Debir and fought against it
39	and he captured it with its king and all its towns. And they struck them with the edge of the sword and devoted to destruction every person in it; he left none remaining. Just as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and to
40	So Joshua struck the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but devoted to destruction all that breathed, just as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
41	And Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
42	And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43	Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

2019-09-20 The Israelite army, led by Joshua made their way down south of Canaan in efforts to conquer them. What can be considered the waist region of Canaan is now in Israel’s hands.

이해하기(Understanding)
As of right now, Joshua advanced all the way down south to Makkedah after leaving Gilgal in aiding Gibeon; all of this is after having crossed the Jordan River, making camp at Gilgal, and bringing down Jericho and Ai. Joshua gathered` men to take over Libnah in the south, Lachish, Gezer, Eglon, Hebron, and Debir. After defeating all those cities one by one, he and his men made their way back to Gilgal (v. 29-43).

적용하기(Applying)
Who is God?
God delivers victory to those who obey him. Joshua is not experiencing victory after victory due to his strategy or military power, but it came as a result of his obedience to God’s words. Your future, too, is not in your grades, beauty, or money, but is in your heart that is after God.

What is the lesson for me (us)?
Joshua did not rest or slow down in his conquest of many of Canaanite cities, as he simply looked to obey God’s command. Do you think you would be able to carry out the command to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thess. 5:16)?

기도하기(Praying)
Just like Joshua and his men, help me to experience victory after victory in both my spiritual walk and life.
