Commentary.on
verse 24."A list
of thirty-one chief towns is here given and, as the whole land contained
an extent of fifteen miles in length by fifty in breadth, it is evident
that these capital cities belonged to petty and insignificant kingdoms.
With a few exceptions, they were not the scenes of any important events
recorded in the sacred history...."
But there
was more, much more:.Joshua
11:18.
