The Day the Sun Stood Still
6Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us!

So Joshua
The name "Joshua" is derived from the Hebrew name "Yehoshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." Joshua, as the leader of Israel, is a type of Christ, who leads His people into the promised rest. His role as a military leader and spiritual guide is pivotal in the narrative of Israel's conquest of Canaan. Joshua's obedience and faithfulness to God's commands are central themes in the book, reflecting the importance of leadership grounded in divine guidance.

and his whole army
The phrase "his whole army" indicates the unity and collective strength of Israel under Joshua's command. This unity is crucial for the success of their mission. In a broader spiritual sense, it reflects the importance of the body of Christ working together in harmony to achieve God's purposes. The army's readiness to follow Joshua into battle underscores their trust in his leadership and, by extension, their trust in God's promises.

including all the mighty men of valor
The "mighty men of valor" refers to the elite warriors of Israel, known for their courage and skill in battle. The Hebrew term "gibborim" is often used to describe these valiant fighters. Their inclusion highlights the importance of strength and bravery in the face of daunting challenges. Spiritually, it serves as a reminder that God equips His people with the necessary strength and courage to face spiritual battles, emphasizing the need for believers to be spiritually prepared and courageous.

came from Gilgal
Gilgal holds significant historical and spiritual importance for Israel. It was the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River and served as a base of operations during the conquest of Canaan. Gilgal symbolizes a place of renewal and commitment to God, as it was here that the Israelites renewed their covenant with God through circumcision and celebrated the Passover. The departure from Gilgal signifies a movement from a place of spiritual preparation to active engagement in God's mission. It serves as a reminder of the importance of spiritual readiness before undertaking God's work.

Verse 7. - Joshua ascended. Keil insists upon the military sense here, as against the literal one, "went up." He believes in the second Gilgal, which was on higher ground than the first (see Joshua 9:6), where, however, we learn that the second Gilgal was not so elevated as Gibeon. And all the mighty men of valour. A selection of the bravest troops seems to be implied here, by the copulative particle. Cf. Genesis 3:16, "Thy pain and (especially in the time of) thy pregnancy."
