Context — The Victory at Makkedah
22Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
23So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.” 26After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.Cross References

Joshua 10:24 Summary
[Joshua 10:24 shows us that when we trust in God's power and authority, we can have victory over our enemies, just like the Israelites did over the kings of Canaan. This verse is a powerful reminder that God is with us and will help us overcome any challenge we face, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:6. By putting their feet on the necks of the kings, the army commanders were symbolically showing that they trusted in God's power to defeat their enemies. We can learn from this example by trusting in God's power and authority in our own lives, as mentioned in Romans 8:37.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Joshua instruct the army commanders to put their feet on the necks of the kings?
This act symbolized the complete defeat and subjugation of the enemy kings, demonstrating the power and authority of God's people over their foes, as seen in Joshua 10:24 and supported by the concept of dominion in Genesis 1:28.
What is the significance of the army commanders being involved in this act?
The involvement of the army commanders signified their participation in the victory and their role as leaders in the conquest of Canaan, as Joshua was following God's command to divide the land among the tribes, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 1:38.
Does this verse promote violence or aggression?
No, this verse is a historical account of a specific event in the conquest of Canaan, and it should be understood in its historical and biblical context, as God was using the Israelites to judge the wicked nations, as mentioned in Leviticus 18:24-25 and Deuteronomy 9:5.
What can we learn from Joshua's actions in this verse?
We can learn about the importance of obedience to God's commands, as well as the need to trust in God's power and authority, as seen in Joshua 1:9 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
Reflection Questions
- What are the areas in my life where I need to trust in God's power and authority, just like Joshua did?
- How can I, like the army commanders, participate in the spiritual battles that I face, and trust in God's victory?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my submission to God's authority, just as the commanders submitted to Joshua's instruction?
- What are the 'kings' in my life that I need to trust God to defeat, and how can I have courage in the face of these challenges?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joshua 10:24
Put your feet upon the necks of these kings: this he did not from pride and contempt of their dignity in itself; but, partly, as a punishment of their impious rebellion against their sovereign Lord; partly, in pursuance of that curse of servility due to all this people, ; partly, as a token to assure his captains that God would subdue the proudest of them all under their feet; and partly, to oblige and teach his people severely to execute the judgment of God upon them, and not to spare any of them, either out of a foolish pity, or out of respect to their dignity, as Saul afterwards spared Agag to his own ruin.
Trapp's Commentary on Joshua 10:24
Joshua 10:24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.Ver. 24. Put your feet upon the necks of these kings.] Not as proudly insulting over them, as that pope did over the emperor at Venice; but to show that he had quite subdued them, as Christ also hath all our spiritual enemies, and will tread Satan himself under our feet shortly. What, then, though that old serpent shoot his sting into our heel, and make us halt, as that martyr said? yet let us go on, though halting, to heaven, whence the devil is cast down.
Ellicott's Commentary on Joshua 10:24
(24) The captains.—The original word occurs here for the first time (see Judges 11:6; Judges 11:11), and seems to mean the actual leaders, not merely the official heads, of the people, who had borne the brunt of the battle. These men having laboured, deserved to see the fruits of their labour; and the action of Joshua was well calculated to inspirit them, and to fire them with courage to lead their followers to the charge in battles that were yet to come. Put your feet upon the necks of these kings.—Comp. 2 Samuel 22:41, “Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies;” and Genesis 49:8.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joshua 10:24
Verse 24. Put your feet upon the necks of these kings.] This act was done symbolically, as a token, not only of the present complete victory, but of their approaching triumph over all their adversaries, which is the interpretation given of it by Joshua in the succeeding verse.
Cambridge Bible on Joshua 10:24
24. put your feet upon the necks] According to the usage portrayed on the monuments of Assyria and Egypt, which seems also to have been practised by the Byzantine emperors long after the Christian era. For this symbol of complete subjection comp. Psalms 110:1; 1 Corinthians 15:25.
Barnes' Notes on Joshua 10:24
Put your feet upon the necks of these kings - A symbol of complete subjugation (compare the marginal references and 1 Corinthians 15:25).
Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 10:24
THE FIVE KINGS , Joshua 10:22-27. 24. Called for all the men of Israel — This must be limited to the bravest warriors; those only were at Makkedah; the rest of the people were at Gilgal. See Joshua 10:7, note, also Joshua 10:43.
