In Joshua 9-12, we read in somewhat ghastly detail of the Israelites conquest of the promised land. City after city was destroyed and the inhabitants including the kings were put to death. Truly not a chapter(s) for the faint of heart.
Notice, though, in ch 9, how the people of Gibeon trick Joshua. They conned him into signing a peace accord. Not God's instructions!!! C914-15 confirms this!
The Lord gives commands and guidance. I can tell you from personal exp, that when I consult and pray to God, things seem to work out better. When i don't.....well, I end up with treaties with those things I'd rather not be part of...
