Many Christians have learned and sung the song, “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho” when they were younger. Although the song tells of the famous battle, what many people do not know is that Joshua became the successor to Moses and led the Israelites into the Promised Land.

Joshua’s story and character profile is one that all Christians should appreciate.

Joshua’s early life 

We first find Joshua called upon by Moses not long after leaving Egypt to select men and go out and fight against Amalek, whom had come to fight against the Israelites.

During the battle when Moses held up his hand and Israel would prevail in battle. However, when he tired of holding up his hand and lowered it, the forces of Amalek prevailed (Exodus 17:8-16).

This gave cause to Aaron, Moses’ brother, and a man named Hur to provide a rock for Moses to sit on so that they could hold up Moses’ hands until the battle was done at sundown.
