Joshua 12 Bible Study Guide — Summary, Themes & Outline

Joshua 12 is a ledger of victory. It records the thirty-one kings whom Israel defeated under Moses and Joshua, from Sihon of Heshbon and Og of Bashan in the east to the twenty-nine kings of the western hill country, lowland, and Negev. The list is not a narrative but a catalogue, and its purpose is to testify that Yahweh gave the land to Israel as he had promised.
