Joshua 12-15
An Overview of Chapter 12
This chapter lists the kings that were defeated by Israel as they entered the land. Moses led the Israelites as they defeated two kings to the east of the Jordan, and that land was given to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Joshua led the Israelites after Moses death and they defeated 31 kings on the west side of the Jordan river, and this land will be divided amongst the remaining 9 1/2 tribes of Israel.
An Overview of Chapter 13
Joshua is an old man at this point and the Lord instructs him to go ahead and divide the land among the tribes. Some territory remains unclaimed, but God promises to drive out the inhabitants. The reminder is given that the Levites inheritance was God and the offerings given to Him. We are also reminded that the Reubenites, Gadites, and half of the tribe of Manasseh were given their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan.
An Overview of Chapter 14
Joshua, Eleazar, and the heads of the tribes of Israel began dividing the inherited land by lot. The first tribe they gave land to was Judah. Caleb, the faithful spy who is now 85 years old, was from Judah and asked if he could have the land that he spied out, Hebron, and it was given to him.
An Overview of Chapter 15
The borders of the land of Judah is explained in great detail. Within this land is the hill country of Hebron which was given to Caleb. Caleb defeated the three giant sons of Anak. Then he promised to whoever captures the city of Kiriath-sepher would be able to marry his daughter. A man named Othniel completed the task and asked his new bride to ask her father for some land that had springs on it, which he gave her. This chapter also lists out the names of the cities on the borders of Judah. It is also pointed out that the sons of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites from the city of Judah.
Reflection
Have you ever made a list of the things you have overcome with God’s help? What things would you put on that list? Caleb was described as following God fully, could the same be said about you? What do you plan on giving anything to your kids when they get married that will help them start their life? What sins are you having trouble driving out of your life? Do you ever feel like giving up like the sons of Judah did with the Jebusites?
