A Decisive Defense
Commentators note that Gezer was north of Joshua's main southern campaign. When King Horam intervened to help Lachish, Joshua didn't get sidetracked by attacking Gezer itself. Instead, he swiftly and completely defeated Horam's army, neutralizing the threat before continuing his primary mission. This highlights Joshua's strategic focus and God's help in securing the campaign.
