Verse 21 is found in chapter 12 of Joshua. The list of kings continues until it reaches thirty-one defeated rulers. The enumeration has an almost administrative character and serves as a record of the campaigns. Each name represents a stage in the process by which Israel established control over Canaan. The list also contrasts with the future reality of the allotment: defeating the kings does not mean that every part of the territory has been fully occupied by all the tribes.
