I've noticed that a lot of the Bible stories are concerning battles. War is a big part of the bible. Even David defeating Goliath.
We read of Israel and God offering protection from their enemies. Sometimes they won and sometimes they didn't.
The taking of Jericho was an important battle. Maybe not much of a battle in respect to God causing the walls to fall. I can also see predestination more than free will in these battles.
Perhaps the battles are mirrors or types of future events.
Could Goliath represent sin or Satan?
God was always recruiting people to lead into battle. It appears "battles" were an important part of God's plan for some reason.
