I think it's interesting here to see how the Lord fights his battles with his nation. It's good parallels to how he also does so with our own difficulties in life.

One theme I like a lot is how it is often said that the Lord has already given you this land. The promises of the Lord are sure, he talks about them as if they were already fulfilled. To the armies of the Israelites, they are simply going in to claim the blessings, once they continue in their faithfulness.

• Joshua 1:13

A history of what nations were attacked, how, in what order. Also, the law of Moses has certain conditions that must be met before going to war.
