Joshua 10:38
“Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.”
What does Joshua 10:38 mean?
After Israel's victory at Libnah, Joshua pressed forward to Debir, a fortified city in the southern hill country. This was part of his campaign to secure Canaan by systematically conquering the cities that resisted Israel's settlement. The repetition of "Joshua returned, and all Israel with him" emphasizes that this wasn't a lone military commander's achievement, but something the whole community undertook together, which was important to how Israel understood their victories as God's work through their unified effort.
