  • Josh 6:3-9 : 3 You and all the fighting men are to march around the city once. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horn trumpets in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, and the priests are to blow the trumpets. 5 When you hear the sound of a long blast from the ram’s horn, have all the people give a loud shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and the people will go up—each straight ahead. 6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them, 'Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and have seven priests carry seven trumpets before it.' 7 And he commanded the people, 'Advance and march around the city, with the armed men going ahead of the ark of the LORD.' 8 After Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the LORD went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark, all while the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the people, 'Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, and do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!' 11 So he had the Ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. Then the people returned to camp and spent the night there. 12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the Ark of the LORD. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven ram's horn trumpets marched ahead of the Ark of the LORD, blowing the trumpets as they went. The armed guard went before them, and the rear guard followed behind the Ark of the LORD, all while the trumpets sounded continuously. 14 On the second day, they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did the same for six days. 15 On the seventh day, they rose early, at dawn, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day alone, they circled the city seven times. 16 On the seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua said to the people, 'Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!' 17 The city and all within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and those with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers we sent. 18 But you must keep yourselves from taking any of the things devoted to destruction; otherwise, you will bring destruction upon the camp of Israel and trouble it. 19 All the silver, gold, bronze, and iron are holy to the LORD and must go into His treasury. 20 When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted. At the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a great shout, the wall collapsed. Each person charged straight in, and they captured the city.
  • 2 Cor 10:4-5 : 4 The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but they are powerful through God for the destruction of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every lofty thing that rises up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.
