After Joshua’s death, Israel asks the LORD which tribe should begin the remaining conquest. Judah and Simeon gain important victories, but the chapter increasingly records places where the tribes fail to drive out the Canaanites completely. The opening successes therefore give way to a troubling pattern of incomplete obedience and coexistence with the inhabitants of the land.
