Title: List of Defeated Kings

Scripture: Joshua 12:1 – 24

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ These are the kings of the land whom the Israelites had defeated and whose territory they took over east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern side of the Arabah: Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge—from the middle of the gorge—to the Jabbok River, which is the border of the Ammonites. This included half of Gilead.  He also ruled over the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Galilee^[a] to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea), to Beth Jeshimoth, and then southward below the slopes of Pisgah.  And the territory of Og king of Bashan, one of the last of the Rephaites, who reigned in Ashtarothand Edrei. He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salekah, all of Bashan to the border of the people of Geshur and Maakah, and half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites conquered them. And Moses the servant of theLord gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh to be their possession. Here is a list of the kings of the land that Joshua and the Israelites conquered on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir. Joshua gave their lands as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel according to their tribal divisions. The lands included the hill country, the western foothills, the Arabah, the mountain slopes, the wilderness and the Negev. These were the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. These were the kings: the king of Jericho, the king of Ai (Bethel), the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, the king of Gezer, the king of Debir, the king of Geder, the king of Hormah, the king of Arad, the king of Libnah, the king of Adullam, the king of Makkedah, the king of Bethel, the king of Tappuah, the king of Hepher, the king of Aphek, the king of Lasharon, the king of Madon, the king of Hazor, the king of Shimon Meron, the king of Akshaph, the king of Taanach, the king of Megiddo, the king of Kedesh, the king of Jokneam in Carmel, the king of Dor (in Napthali Dor), the king of Goyim in Gilgal, the king of Tirzah, thirty-one kings in all.

NOTES:

Ø God allows enemies with large territories and authorities to join forces against us so when He defeats them for and with us, He gives everything they own to us!  Speaking of Transferring of wealth from the wicked to the righteous!  God works in ways we could not imagine or understand.  At times we were thinking that the whole world is against us but little did we know that God allows it so when He wins the battle of all the overwhelming problems in our lives, our territories are expanded (this may speak of wealth, influence, power, authority, etc).  Remember everything that happens in our lives work together for our good so even the problems that come in our lives, no matter how big or many they are, they come together and God allows it for a purpose.  So Praise the Lord for everything because whether good or bad, we know that our God allows it for our own good always!  Hallelujah!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus thank You for Your love because it drives everything to work together for our good.  Lord blessed is Your love and Grace.  Almighty God, I am truly amazed and in great awe for Your works in our lives.  Thank You for Your amazing grace and love that is fresh and renew every morning!  Lord help me to remember that everything happens for a reason and You always ensure that it is for my good.  Lord let me see Your work in my life and show me the plans You have for me.  Let me see Your wonders and hands working in amazing ways at all times.  Thank You Lord because I can be assured in You and I can put my trust in You fully without fear because You make things work together for my own good.  Thank You Jesus!  I love You.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
