Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord gave Israel peace from their enemies around them. Many years passed, and Joshua grew very old. ² He called a meeting of all the elders, heads of families, judges, and officers of Israel. He said, "I am now very old. ³ You have seen what the Lord has done to our enemies to help us. The Lord your God fought for you. ⁴ Remember that your people have been given their land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the land I promised to give you. ⁵ The Lord your God will force out the people living there. The Lord will push them out ahead of you. And you will own the land, as he has promised you. ⁶ "Be strong. You must be careful to obey everything commanded in the Book of the Teachings of Moses. Do not stray from it either from the left or the right. ⁷ Don't become friends with the people living among us who are not Israelites. Don't say the names of their gods or make anyone swear by them. Don't serve or worship them. ⁸ You must continue to follow the Lord your God, as you have done in the past. ⁹ "The Lord has forced many great and powerful nations to leave ahead of you. No nation has been able to defeat you. ¹⁰ With his help, one Israelite could defeat a thousand, because the Lord your God fights for you, as he promised to do.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the Lord hath driven out before you great nations and strong,.... Especially as they were reckoned in those times, before any great monarchies had existed, as did afterwards; and indeed these were, considering the land they inhabited, very numerous and populous, and were very stout and able bodied men, and some of a gigantic stature; and all dwelt in strong fortified cities, and were able to bring out large armies into the field, with chariots of iron, so that they were very formidable; but notwithstanding all this, the Lord drove them out of their strong holds, and put Israel into the possession of them, and of their land:

but [as for] you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day; that is, of those that came out against them, and fought with them; these were all to a man cut off by them, or fled before them, and became tributaries to them; otherwise there were many, who as yet were not expelled by them; this the Lord had promised, and now had fulfilled, Deuteronomy 11:25.
