📚 Historical Context
In the book of Joshua, the Israelites were actively conquering the Promised Land as part of God's covenant promise to their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In chapter 10, Joshua led a decisive battle against a coalition of Amorite kings who attacked the Gibeonites, Israel's allies, with God providing miraculous aid like extending daylight. After this victory, Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their established camp at Gilgal, which served as a strategic base for further campaigns in the region.
