Battle of Jericho happened in -1400.
The modern day village of Jericho is located in the state of Israel, a few miles northeast of Jerusalem.With a population of 19,000, the city is administrative seat of the Jericho Governorate. The city is believed to be one of the oldest inhabited cities on earth with over 20 different successive settlements located there dating back to 9,000 BCE.
A:Jericho was one of the oldest walled cities in the world, almost continuously occupied until the sixteenth century BCE, when an earthquake, that caused damage right across the region around 1550 BCE, brought down the walls, resulting in Jericho being abandoned. At the time of the supposed military conquest by the Israelites under Joshua, around 1400 BCE, a small, unwalled village had been built on the site.

Israel
According to the biblical account, Jericho was the first city the Israelites captured.
The biblical answer is yes: Jericho was the first city the Israelites conquered.However, archaeologists say that there was no city at Jericho between the fifteenth and eleventh centuries BCE; therefore there was no conquest of Jericho. Israel Finkelstein said, "Today more than 90% of scholars agree that there was no Exodus from Egypt, 80% feel that that the Conquest of the Land did not take place as described in the Bible ..."
A:According to the book of Joshua, Jericho was the first city the Israelites attacked at the end of the Exodus from Egypt. The Bible tells us that the forty-year Exodus began approximately 1444 BCE, 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, so the attack on Jericho would have been approximately 1404 BCE. However, over 90 per cent of scholars say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Archaeologists say that Jericho had been abandoned around 1550 BCE and all that existed, at the time the Israelites were said to have marched around the walls of Jericho, was a small, unwalled village. The Israelites never really marched around the walls of Jericho with trumpets.

In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites attacked Jericho and killed every man, woman and child there, save for the prostitute, Rahab. However, archaeologists say that there was no military conquest as described in the Bible. They say that the city of Jericho had been abandoned long before 1400 BCE (when the attack should have taken place) and that there was at most just a small, unfortified mud-brick village where Jericho had once stood. The Israelites did not attack Jericho and did not kill anyone there.
The town of Jericho was taken in the military campaign led by Joshua, in the Battle of Jericho described in the Book of Joshua in the Bible. It is known for its miraculous conquest where the walls of Jericho fell down after the Israelites marched around the city seven times blowing trumpets.
According to the Bible story in the Book of Joshua, the walls of Jericho fell down after the priests blew their trumpets and the Israelites shouted. The city was then conquered and destroyed by the Israelites.
The first city in Canaan taken by the Israelites was Jericho, as described in the biblical account in the book of Joshua. The Israelites marched around the city for seven days before its walls fell down, allowing them to conquer it.
The first event in the Battle of Jericho is the Israelites crossing the Jordan River led by Joshua with the Ark of the Covenant. This marked the beginning of their military campaign to conquer the city of Jericho.
