16 The people of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. Yet all the Canaanites who dwell in the plain have schariots of iron, both those in Beth-shean and its villages and those in the Valley of Jezreel.” 17 Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a numerous people and have great power. You shall not have one allotment only, 18 but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders. For you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
Laws Concerning Warfare
1 “When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, myou shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is nwith you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
19 And the Lord was nwith Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he ocould not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had pchariots of iron.
3 Then the people of Israel bcried out to the Lord for help, for he had 900 cchariots of iron and he oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.
