God had promised the Land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants. Jericho was in the Land of Israel and Joshua was leading Abraham's descendants. Since Joshua feared the Lord, God gave him control of the city of Jericho provided that he follow God's orders on how to besiege it. He follows the orders and conquers the city.
