83, at all events, tlie most recent travellers vii. P. 123. have discovered there such a locality, which * Judges iv. 2-7. from every indication would correspond ^ Josh. Xi. 8, 254 THE THEOCEACY AXD JOSHUA. exaggerate its overpowering effect. But it is evident that earlier and far more circumstantial accounts of these northern camj)aigns must have been fused down into that which we now possess. When in the existing narrative we read that Joshua here too lays utterly waste all the cities, lets n...o single Canaan- ite anywhere escape, and finally extirpates all the children of Anak, in both north and south, ^ we recognise the hand of the Deuteronomist, who j)aints Joshua the destroyer of the Canaanite as the typical destroyer of heathendom, such as he wished the king to be in his own day. The result, then, of these investigations is briefly this : that all the older writers, even (as far as we see) the Fourth Narrator, tell nothing of Joshua's victories but what is quite probable ; but that the Deuteronomist, in subservience to his special aim, generalised far too much his achievements as conqueror and extirpator of the Canaanites, so as to lose sight entirely of many details of the tradition.
