→Joshua's Conquest
=== Jericho ===
=== Jericho ===
The battle at Jericho is mainly documented in Joshua 6. The Israelite's under Joshua advance their army to the city of Jericho, causing Jericho in response to heavily fortify themselves. God assures the Israelite's that they will defeat Jericho, and commands the Israelite's to encircle the city of Jericho once, every day, for six days straight, and then seven times on the seventh day. The Ark of the Covenant was also encircled around the city of Jericho, whilst horns were being blown throughout the event. Once the final encirclement on the seventh day was complete, a shout was made and the walls of Jericho collapsed, followed by the invasion of Jericho by the army of Joshua. Joshua sent spies ahead to rescue Rahab and her family from amongst the people of Jericho, for she had hid two of Joshua's spies earlier from the king of Jericho in exchange for that the coming Israelite army may spare her and her family when they come to invade the city. Aside from Rahab and her family, the people of Jericho and the city was entirely destroyed, as God has promised the Israelite's, and Rahab went on to live with her family in Israel.
