Joshua 10:21 Summary
This verse, Joshua 10:21, tells us that after a big battle, the Israelite army returned safely to their leader Joshua, and none of their enemies dared to speak out against them. This shows that God was with the Israelites and was protecting them, just like He promised in Joshua 1:5. It's a reminder that when we trust in God and follow His commands, He will give us victory and protection, as seen in Psalm 23:4. We can have confidence in God's power and care for us, just like the Israelites did.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the whole army returning safely to Joshua?
The safe return of the army signifies God's protection and care for the Israelites, as He had promised to be with them and give them victory, as seen in Joshua 1:5 and fulfilled in Joshua 10:21.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the story in Joshua 10?
This verse is a culmination of the events in Joshua 10, where the Israelites, with God's help, defeated their enemies and secured a great victory, as commanded in Joshua 10:19 and resulting in the fear of their enemies described in Joshua 10:21.
