What does Joshua 10:34 mean?
Joshua and the Israelites were moving through Canaan, systematically taking cities as part of their conquest. Lachish had just fallen, and now they turned their attention to the nearby city of Eglon, surrounding it and preparing for battle. This verse captures the steady, methodical nature of their campaign, showing how one victory led to the next as they pressed forward. For readers in difficult seasons, it can echo the theme that faithfulness in one challenge often opens the way to move through the next one.
