Joshua 11:18
Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long period of time.
BSB
ASV
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
KJV
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Joshua made war a long time - The whole of these conquests were not effected in one campaign: they probably required six or seven years. There are some chronological notices in this book, and in Deuteronomy, by which the exact time may be nearly ascertained. Caleb was forty years old when he was sent from Kadesh-barnea by Moses to search out the land, about A.M.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
