What does the Bible say about the battle of Jericho?

In Joshua 6, the Israelites face their first battle as they enter the promised land. God gave them specific instructions: they were to march around the city once a day for six days, with seven priests carrying trumpets before the Ark of the Covenant. On the seventh day, they marched around Jericho seven times, and after a long blast of the trumpets and a loud shout from the people, the walls of the city collapsed. This event illustrates God's sovereignty in battle and the importance of obedience to His commands. The victory came not through conventional warfare but through faith and worship (Joshua 6:1-20).
