• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7-24Verses 7-24 The names of the kings are given in the order of their actual encounter with Joshua. Those enumerated in Joshua 12:10-18 either belonged to the league of the southern Canaanites (Joshua 10:1 ff), the power of which was broken in the battle of Beth-horon, or were at any rate conquered in the campaign following that battle.

This list was a serious yet joyful recitation for Israel. It reminds the people of God’s mighty acts on their behalf and honors…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-247. Baal-gad ... even unto ... Halak--(See on Jos 11:17). A list of thirty-one chief towns is here given; and, as the whole land contained a superficial extent of only fifteen miles in length by fifty in breadth, it is evident that these capital cities belonged to petty and insignificant kingdoms. With a few exceptions, they were not the scenes of any important events recorded in the sacred history, and therefore do not require a particular notice.Read the comment
