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.
According to the biblical account, Jericho was the first city the Israelites captured.
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.
In chapter 6 of the book of Joshua, the destruction of Jericho is described. The Israelites, following God's instructions, marched around the city for seven days, and on the seventh day, they shouted, causing the walls of Jericho to collapse. This event marked a significant victory for the Israelites as they entered the Promised Land.
Your question is worded unclearly; here are possible answers: 1) God's command (Joshua 6:2). 2) Joshua, who led the Israelites for 28 years after the death of Moses (Joshua ch.1 to ch.24). 3) The Kohanim, who led the circling of the city (Joshua ch.6). 4) The report of the scouts, saying that the land, and Jericho, were ready for taking (see Joshua ch.2). 5) Rahab (ibid), who stated that the Israelites had nothing to be apprehensive about. 6) The fact that Jericho was considered the key entry point to the rest of Canaan (midrash Tanhuma, section Behaalotcha 18).
The city of Jericho was in a state of siege primarily due to the Israelite conquest described in the biblical narrative of the Book of Joshua. The Israelites, led by Joshua, were commanded by God to take possession of the Promised Land, and Jericho was one of the first cities they encountered. The siege culminated in the famous event where the Israelites marched around the city for seven days, after which the walls collapsed, allowing them to capture the city. This event symbolizes the Israelites' faith and obedience to God's instructions.

Jericho
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.
Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan.
Ehud was a judge in the Bible who played a significant role in the story of the Israelites. He was known for his bravery and cunning tactics. Ehud assassinated the Moabite king Eglon, who had been oppressing the Israelites, and led the Israelites to victory against their enemies.
