Basically the main central body of land was conquered in only two campaigns. It is important to remember that the total destruction of the people groups listed was commanded by God because of their disgusting pagan and idolatrous practices. Joshua 10:40 \u201c\u2026 This was what the Lord God of Israel had commanded.\u201d See also 11:20. PSALM 72:It is clear that this psalm, written by King Solomon\u2014 or more likely written about King Solomon, goes beyond Solomon, giving adoration to the King of Kings. ACTS 23a:Paul gave his defense from the top of the stairway leading to the military headquarters. In spite of the miracles in his story, the mob was not impressed. It was the word \u2018Gentiles\u2019 that caused the final violent reaction. NLT Translation notes:Ps. 72 A psalm [for\/of] Solomon.[NET tn The preposition could be understood as indicating authorship (\u201cOf Solomon\u201d), but since the psalm is a prayer for a king, it may be that the superscription reflects a tradition that understood this as a prayer for Solomon.]Ps. 72:6 May [our\/the] king\u2019s rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass,like the showers that water the earth.   Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright \u00a9 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
