Joshua 10:29-43 (KJV)
Moving on from Makkedah, Joshua continued to take five more cities in the region. The cities were Libnah, Lachish, Eglon, Hebron and Debir. King Horam of Gezer attempted to help Lachish, but was also defeated. "So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed as the Lord God of Israel commanded" (v.40). "...[T]he Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal" (vs. 42,43).
Joshua and the Children of Israel fought evil with faith for their Promised Land. We have to fight evil in our spiritual battles to hold on to our Promised Land--Heaven. This is why we must armor ourselves with the Word of God to fight the good fight! (Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Timothy 6:12).
