SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–24 The kings that Joshua and the Israelites defeated

In this section there is a list of the kings that the Israelites defeated on the east side and the west side of the Jordan River.

Here is another possible section heading:

The kings that the Israelites defeated on both sides of the Jordan River

Paragraph 12:7–24

The kings that the Israelites defeated on the west side of the Jordan River.

12:9

the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is near Bethel, one;

These are the kings they defeated: the king of Jericho, the king of Ai near Bethel,
The people of Israel defeated the kings of the following cities: Jericho City, Ai City (near Bethel City),

the king of Jericho, one: The word one indicates that there was one king of Jericho. This is a literal translation of the Hebrew word. Most English versions do not include the word one. You should translate this list in a way that your language naturally arranges a list.

the king of Ai, which is near Bethel, one: The phrase near Bethel indicates that the town of Ai was near the town of Bethel.

Here are two different ways to translate verses 9–24:

9 The people of Israel defeated the kings of the following cities: Jericho, Ai (near Bethel), 10 Jerusalem, Hebron, 11 Jarmuth, Lachish, 12 Eglon, Gezer, 13 Debir, Geder, 14 Hormah, Arad, 15 Libnah, Adullam, 16 Makkedah, Bethel, 17 Tappuah, Hepher, 18 Aphek, Lasharon, 19 Madon, Hazor, 20 Shimron Meron, Achshaph, 21 Taanach, Megiddo, 22 Kedesh, Jokneam (in Carmel), 23 Dor (on the coast), Goiim (in Galilee), 24 and Tirzah—thirty-one kings in all.

Kings Defeated by Joshua

Joshua 12:7-24

The first half of the book of Joshua recounts the many battles fought during the conquest of the Promised Land. At the very end of this account, Israel’s conquests are summarized in a list of kings defeated by Moses and Joshua. Moses’ victories in the Transjordan are listed first, followed by Joshua’s victories in the land west of the Jordan River. Each of these defeated kings ruled over a single city-state (and sometimes its surrounding territory), and the cities listed were scattered throughout the entire land allotted to the Israelites by Moses and Joshua. It appears, however, that Israel was not always able to maintain control over some of the cities that were defeated, for several of them are noted as the headquarters of various rulers who oppressed the Israelites during the period of the Judges (e.g., Jerusalem, Gezer, Taanach, Dor, Megiddo, and Hazor; see Judges 1-4).
