Joshua 11

Just as chapter ten described Israel's defeat of the nations in the southern portion of the promised land, so this section covers the northern half. With Joshua's leadership and more importantly his obedience to God and His might the whole land was subdued. Earlier I remember that God told Moses this would not all be done immediately, but that it would take time so that the people could spread and settle the area rather than have it become desolate and a wasteland - which makes me wonder what span of time the last two chapters cover. Perhaps that will be told later.
