Verse 10 is found in chapter 12 of Joshua. The second part of the summary lists the kings defeated by Joshua west of the Jordan. Jericho, Ai, Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, Eglon, Gezer, Debir, and other cities are mentioned. The list transforms earlier narrative events into a territorial record. Its function is to document the extent of the conquest and prepare the reader for the next section, where attention shifts from victories to the task of distributing the land.
