The book Joshua is about the servant Joshua who served the Lord. After Moses died Joshua was chosen by God. He was chosen to finish Moses' job and take the Israelites to the land that was promised to their forefathers. God came to Joshua and told him it was time to take the people to their land. Joshua sent to spies to go look over all the land especially Jericho. While the spies were in the land Jericho, a prostitute named Rehab helped them. She told them that the king knew they were there. Rehab hid them up on the roof while the king came to her house, they searched her house but couldn't find the spies. Rehab told the spies that she knew that God promised that land of Jordan to them. The prostitute asked the spies if they can promise her that her entire family will be safe and they said yes. When Joshua was near Jericho, he saw a man standing in front of him. Joshua asked him if he was for them or for their enemies. Joshua realized this man was here to deliver a message from God. The man told Joshua that God told him they need to march around the city of Jericho once with all the armed men and do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets made of rams' horns in front of the ark. They did as the Lord commanded and marched around the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, Joshua and all the men walked around the city seven times. And on the seventh time Joshua told the people to shout and once they did, The wall of Jericho collapsed. This was a miracle and everyone knew. Other kings heard about what happened and tried to partner up with each other to defeat the Israelites. Joshua ended up conquering lots of land, and he defeated 31 kings in the process. Joshua was a great servant of God.
