A loyal defender of Canaan believes might makes right until confrontations with his sister, his love interest, and others who supports Israel, cause him to recognize his hope for the future depends on the success of his perceived enemy. As Jericho's walls crumble, he and his renowned sister, Rahab, are rescued and relocated near Israel's camp, where they struggle to adapt to a society built on moral law rather than the chaos of power plays. A manipulative Governor tricks the kings to delegate power to him as their war lord, and tricks Israel's commander to have a treaty of peace, but the defender supports this to gain influence that he believes will protect his love interest. His emerging faith that right makes might situates him to succeed through tests of strengths of character that ultimately cause things to work out for the highest good.
