“When the territory of the people of Dan was lost to them, the people of Dan went up and fought against Leshem” (v47). Instead of possessing their promised allotment, the tribe of Dan decided to move far away to the north and take a city on their own (see Judges 18). Joshua, though, was given “the city that he asked, Timnath-serah... he rebuilt the city and settled in it” (v50).

The Dan clan failed to trust God and moved far away from the tent of meeting, eventually becoming a center of idolatry (1Kgs 12, 2 Kgs 17), while Joshua’s ongoing faith kept him close to the Lord. God calls us to make choices that prioritize knowing and following him, for his glory and our own benefit.
