Joshua 12:1

THE TWO KINGS WHOSE COUNTRIES MOSES TOOK AND DISPOSED OF. (Joshua 12:1-6)

Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan—This chapter contains a recapitulation of the conquests made in the promised land, with the additional mention of some places not formerly noted in the sacred history. The river Arnon on the south and mount Hermon on the north were the respective boundaries of the land acquired by the Israelites beyond Jordan (see Numbers 21:21-24; Deuteronomy 2:36; Deuteronomy 3:3-16 [and see on Deuteronomy 2:24]).
