These are the kings of the land until the end of the book. He first mentioned what was done through Moses of this war. And he said in this first: whom the children of Israel smote. And it is fitting that this be attributed to Moses with them, for through him it was done. And for this he mentioned at the end: Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel did this. And he did not mention at the beginning the name of Moses, to indicate that Moses, even though his excellence was very great, his defeating these kings was in the merit of Israel, from the side of the covenant of God made with their fathers, as is mentioned in the Torah. And after this he mentioned the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote, beyond the Jordan westward. And that Joshua already gave them to the tribes of Israel as an inheritance, according to their divisions, in the way mentioned in the Torah.

Malbim
One king of Jericho. Among the kings enumerated here were many whose lands he did not conquer during his lifetime; rather, [only] the kings themselves were killed by Joshua in battle. They are: the king of Jerusalem (Judges 1:21), the king of Gezer (below 16:10; Judges 1:29); Bethel was not conquered during his lifetime (Judges 1:22); Aphek was not conquered (ibid., 31); Taanach, Megiddo, Dor (ibid., 27). Likewise, of the kings counted here, some are accounted for elsewhere in the book: the king of Jericho, Ai (chapter 8); Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, Debir, Eglon, Gezer, Libnah, Makkedah (all of whom he struck at one time) (chapter 10); and also the king of Hazor, Madon, Shimron, Achshaph (chapter 11); and also the king of Bethel (even though his death is not explicitly stated) certainly perished when he went to help Ai. Thus we find seventeen [kings], and the remaining fourteen are included in what is stated (11:12): "And Joshua captured all their kings and struck them."
