The Setup

So, we've got Joshua — the new leader of Israel after Moses, and he's been on a roll. Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River, and they’ve been conquering cities left and right in the Promised Land. The news of their victories is spreading like wildfire, and the local kings are shaking in their boots.

The Gibeonites, a crafty group of people living nearby, have heard about Israel's sweeping victories. They're smart enough to know that going head-to-head with Joshua isn't a winning strategy. So, they hatch a plan to outsmart the Israelites with a little deception.

Meanwhile, as Joshua is making alliances and marching forward, the surrounding kings decide to team up against him. But they’ve got another thing coming because Joshua is not just any leader; he’s got God fighting on his side.
