Northern armies form a large alliance and form a huge army. God tells Joshua to not be afraid and that when the army is destroyed, Joshua must cripple their horses and burn their chariots. Joshua defeats the army and does this before going on another city-after-city rampage.
No other kings made peace with Joshua, just the Gibeonites.
The chapter concludes by saying that the entire land had been conquered and the land finally had rest from war.
The remaining chapters of Joshua speak of how the land was divided among the Israelites and catalogs the cities that were destroyed and are yet to be destroyed.
