Context of Joshua 24:10
8“Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites who were living beyond the Jordan. Though they fought against you, I gave them into your hand, and you possessed their land when I destroyed them from before you. 9Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, rose and fought against Israel. He even sent and called for Balaam son of Beor to curse you. But I refused to listen to Balaam; instead, he had to keep blessing you. Thus I delivered you from his hand. 11“Then you crossed over the Jordan and came to Jericho, but the men of Jericho fought against you—the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites and the Jebusites—but I delivered them into your hand. 12Then I sent the hornet before you and it drove them out from before you—the two kings of the Amorites—not by your sword or your bow.
