Joshua12

Joshua chapter 12 provides a comprehensive list of kings defeated by the Israelites during their conquest of the land. It first enumerates the two kings, Sihon and Og, vanquished by Moses on the east side of the Jordan River, whose territories were then allotted to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh. The chapter then details the thirty-one kings subdued by Joshua and the children of Israel on the west side of the Jordan, whose lands were subsequently distributed among the remaining tribes. This chapter serves as a summary of the successful military campaigns.
