"Jozua als legeraanvoerder van Israëlieten met lichamen van de verslagen koningen" (Joshua as military leader of the Israelites with the bodies of the defeated kings) is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem, depicting a scene from the Old Testament Book of Joshua. The print, which is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, shows Joshua standing over the bodies of defeated kings, symbolizing the victory of the Israelites over their enemies. This scene is a classic example of a Biblical engraving, with its focus on historical and religious themes, and is an important piece of Dutch art history.
