REG Update - Joshua, son of Nun - Is there anything he didn't do?

If I understand I Kings 16:34 correctly, Joshua, son of Nun prophesied.  He's not currently included on the REG list of Prophets.

In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.

It doesn't say he was a king, it says a prophecy the Lord made through him was fulfilled.

Sorry, Gabe, I was joking with the title of your thread.  As to your post, it sounds accurate enough, except how did you find that verse?  Surely you're not doing devotions in I Kings like me?  If you are, then have you noticed how Abiathar (great card in the game) kept siding with the wrong team and ultimately was ran out of the priesthood?

lol, that makes sense now.  I knew you couldn't be that dense.  :D The smiley should have given it away.

I & II Kings are on my list of reading material right now.  There are so many good lessons in those books, aren't there?

I did notice that Abiathar was run out by Solomon to fulfill the prophecy of the Lord about the House of Ithamar.  Like many men, both in the Bible and in our time, he didn't finish strong.  My prayer is that I don't fall into that same trap. :prayer:

In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.

Joshua 6:26:
At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: "Cursed before the LORD is the man who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
       "At the cost of his firstborn son
       will he lay its foundations;
       at the cost of his youngest
       will he set up its gates."

Another curse that was fulfilled: Joshua 9:22-27

As for if he's a prophet, and if this is prophecy, it depends on whether what Joshua said was a Word from God, or if God simply did as he asked.

That fits the definition in the glossary for prophet. I'll add Joshua as a prophet.
