Israel had served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced all the works that the LORD had done for Israel.
Notes
Joshua’s leadership left a lasting impact. Israel remained faithful to God during his lifetime and during the lives of the elders who lived longer than he did.
The tombs of a respected ancestor and two honored leaders served as a final sign that Canaan truly belonged to Israel. Even so, much work still remained. The people would need to stay alert, and at times they would still need to fight.
