These are the kings of the land whom the Israelites had defeated and whose territory they took over east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern side of the Arabah:

This included half of Gilead. ³ He also ruled over the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Galilee^[a] to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea), to Beth Jeshimoth, and then southward below the slopes of Pisgah.

     以色列在摩西和約書亞的引導之下，除滅了迦南地許多的王。其實王大都是抵抗上帝，自立權柄。上帝不喜悅人如此，祂要人放下自己，尊耶穌基督為王、為主，如此才是榮耀上帝的名！

     正如《腓立比書》2:5-11

 2:5 你們當以基督耶穌的心為心：
2:6 他本有上帝的形像，不以自己與上帝同等為強奪的；
2:7 反倒虛己，取了奴僕的形像，成為人的樣式；
2:8 既有人的樣子，就自己卑微，存心順服，以至於死，且死在十字架上。
2:9 所以，上帝將他升為至高，又賜給他那超乎萬名之上的名，
2:10 叫一切在天上的、地上的，和地底下的，因耶穌的名無不屈膝，
2:11 無不口稱「耶穌基督為主」，使榮耀歸與父上帝。

      讓我們看見約書亞和摩西除滅諸王之事，把榮耀歸給上帝！
