And Joshua returned,.... After all these kings and their cities had been taken by him, and not before; though the same is said,
Joshua 10:15, before the history of those facts;
and all Israel with him to the camp in Gilgal; where the body of the people were left, and where was the tabernacle of the Lord; and no doubt he and Israel with him gave public praise and thanksgiving there for the signal victories they had obtained over the Canaanites.
