Joshua 24:9
Compare all
7 So they cried out to the Lord; and He put adarkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And byour eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness ca long time.  
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, aand they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land, and I destroyed them from before you.  
9 Then aBalak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and bsent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.  
10 aBut I would not listen to Balaam; btherefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.  
11 Then ayou went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And bthe men of Jericho fought against you—also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand.  
12 aI sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two kings of the Amorites, but bnot with your sword or with your bow.

Joshua 24:9

Then Balak - arose and warred against Israel - This circumstance is not related in Numbers 22:1-41, nor does it appear in that history that the Moabites attacked the Israelites; and probably the warring here mentioned means no more than his attempts to destroy them by the curses of Balaam, and the wiles of the Midianitish women.
