Who is this
Joshua is mentioned in 1 Samuel 6:14 and 6:18 as a resident of Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah. The context of the passage is the return of the ark of the covenant to Israel after it had been captured by the Philistines (1 Samuel 4-6). The Philistines, afflicted by plagues because of the ark's presence, sent it back to Israel on a cart pulled by two cows (1 Samuel 6:7-12).
The cart carrying the ark came to the field of Joshua in Beth-shemesh, where the people were reaping their wheat harvest (1 Samuel 6:13). The cows pulling the cart stopped beside a large rock in Joshua's field (1 Samuel 6:14). The people of Beth-shemesh then split up the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord (1 Samuel 6:14).
The large rock in Joshua's field, where the ark was placed, is mentioned again in 1 Samuel 6:18 as a marker or boundary stone.
