Joshua 10:7

When the Gibeonites, attacked by the Amorite kings, sent word to Joshua to come to their aid, the Scripture reads as follows: Joshua of Gaulla went up, he and all the people of war with him, all the strong and valiant. And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear them; for I have delivered them into your hands; it will not resist before you nor one of them ». They did not consult the Lord to know if they had to go against them. The Lord announced to them that they would obtain the victory, they who had spontaneously wanted to help their people well. Thus he could also say who the Gibeonites were who lied (Cf Jos 9,15(9)), claiming that they lived far away, even if they had consulted him about them, in case he had not liked that oath, that he would force those who submitted to him to be forgiven. They had believed God, whom they had heard to promise their people that they would destroy these people and seize their land. And in a way he rewarded this faith of them, by not betraying them. 15 (Jos 10.5.6). We are presented with the question of why the king of the city of Jerusalem Adonibezec and the four others with whom he besieges the Gibeonites, according to the version of the Seventy, first receive the title of kings of the Jebusites, when they meet to besiege to the Gibeonites, and then the Gibeonites themselves call them kings of the Amorites, when they send messengers to Joshua to set them free from the siege. But, as I have seen in the Hebrew version, on both occasions they are called Amorites, when it is recorded that the king of the city of Jerusalem was a Jebusite, since that same city receives the name of Jebus as the capital of that town. , and the Scripture remembers very many times that there were seven peoples that God promised to exterminate before his, one of which was that of the Amorites. Unless it is a general name for all or maybe most of them, so that under that name would not understand a single town, but many of those seven. Although there could also be one of the seven that were properly called the Amorites, as, for example, there is a part that receives the proper name of Libya, although this name corresponds to all of Africa, and there is a part that is called Asia in the proper sense, although some have considered Asia as half and others as the third part of the earth. As it is known, the Canaanites are mentioned as one people among…
