the king of Jarmuth
The mention of "the king of Jarmuth" refers to one of the Canaanite kings defeated by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership. Jarmuth was a city located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. Archaeological evidence suggests that Jarmuth was a fortified city, indicative of its strategic importance. The Hebrew root for Jarmuth, "Yarmuth," may mean "heights" or "elevations," reflecting its geographical setting. This victory signifies God's faithfulness in delivering the land to the Israelites, fulfilling His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the importance of obedience to His commands.

one
The repetition of "one" after each king's name in this chapter emphasizes the individual victories that collectively contributed to the conquest of Canaan. Each "one" signifies a complete and decisive victory, underscoring the thoroughness of God's deliverance. It highlights the methodical nature of the conquest, where each victory was part of a larger divine plan. This enumeration serves as a testament to God's power and the fulfillment of His promises, encouraging believers to trust in God's plan and timing.

the king of Lachish
Lachish was another significant city in the Shephelah region, known for its strong fortifications and strategic location on the trade routes. The Hebrew name "Lachish" may derive from a root meaning "invincible," reflecting its formidable defenses. The defeat of the king of Lachish demonstrates God's ability to overcome even the most fortified and seemingly invincible obstacles. Historically, Lachish was an important city, as evidenced by archaeological finds such as the Lachish Letters, which provide insight into the city's role and the broader geopolitical context of the time. This victory illustrates the theme of divine intervention and the assurance that no earthly power can withstand God's will.

one
Again, the use of "one" signifies the completeness of the victory over Lachish. It reinforces the idea that each victory was a step towards the fulfillment of God's promise to give the Israelites the land of Canaan. The repetition of "one" throughout the chapter serves as a literary device to emphasize the totality of the conquest and the faithfulness of God in delivering His people. It encourages believers to recognize the significance of each step in their spiritual journey and to trust in God's provision and guidance.
