Joshua 15:56 stands in the part of the book concerned with the conquering of the Canaanites and the division of the land. More precisely, it belongs to Joshua 11-21, which records the division and settling of the Promised Land among the tribes. Within that division it belongs to the list of eleven mountain cities that fell by lot to the tribe of Judah, with one of the cities it names counted among those eleven. The larger division narrative also shows Israel's lack of faith and slowness in settling. That section closes in Joshua 21 with the assurance that God wrought all He had promised and none of His good word failed.
