Notes from Joshua 11

This chapter continues and concludes the history of the conquest of Canaan; of the reduction of the southern parts we had an account in the foregoing chapter, after which we may suppose Joshua allowed his forces some breathing-time; now here we have the story of the war in the north, and the happy success of that war.

I. The confederacy of the northern crowns against Israel (v. 1-5).
II. The encouragement which God gave to Joshua to engage them (v. 6).
III. His victory over them (v. 7-9).
IV. The taking of their cities (v. 10-15).
V. The destruction of the Anakim (v. 21, 22).
VI. The general conclusion of the story of this war (v. 16-20, 23).
