Study Notes — Joshua 11:15
Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Conquest of the Northern Cities
13Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.
14The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed.
15As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
16So Joshua took this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills, 17from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.Cross References

Joshua's example encourages us to be faithful and obedient, just like he was, and to trust in God's wisdom and guidance.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 11:15

Joshua 11:15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.Ver. 15. As the Lord commanded.] This is often repeated, to free Joshua from suspicion of inhumanity and cruelty in all these bloody executions.
