JOSHUA 10:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.”
Joshua's exhortation — Joshua said to them, 'Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and courageous (חִזְקוּ וְאִמְצוּ), for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.' Joshua's command invokes the same exhortation given to him by the LORD (cf. Joshua 1:6-9). He interprets the humiliation of the kings as a prophetic sign (thus the LORD will do) of victory over all enemies. The sight of defeated kings reinforces Israel's courage and the certainty of eventual triumph.
