Contextual Overview

¹⁵ But if you don't want to serve the Lord , you must choose for yourselves today whom you will serve. You may serve the gods that your ancestors worshiped when they lived on the other side of the Euphrates River, or you may serve the gods of the Amorites who lived in this land. As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord ." ¹⁶ Then the people answered, "We will never stop following the Lord to serve other gods! ¹⁷ It was the Lord our God who brought our ancestors out of Egypt. We were slaves in that land, but the Lord did great things for us there. He brought us out and protected us while we traveled through other lands. ¹⁸ Then he forced out all the people living in these lands, even the Amorites. So we will serve the Lord , because he is our God." ¹⁹ Then Joshua said, "You are not able to serve the Lord , because he is a holy God and a jealous God. If you turn against him and sin, he will not forgive you. ²⁰ If you leave the Lord and serve other gods, he will send you great trouble. The Lord may have been good to you, but if you turn against him, he will destroy you." ²¹ But the people said to Joshua, "No! We will serve the Lord ." ²² Then Joshua said, "You are your own witnesses that you have chosen to serve the Lord ." The people said, "Yes, we are." ²³ Then Joshua said, "Now throw away the gods that you have. Love the Lord , the God of Israel, with all your heart." ²⁴ Then the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the Lord our God, and we will obey him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord drave out from before us all the people,.... The seven nations of the land of Canaan:

even the Amorites which dwelt in the land; the strongest and most populous of the nations, Amos 2:9, or especially the Amorites, so Vatablus; or "with the Amorites", as others; those that lived on the other side Jordan, over whom Sihon and Og reigned:

[therefore] will we also serve the Lord: as well as Joshua and his house, for the reasons before given, because he had done such great and good things for them:

for he [is] our God: that has made and preserved us, and loaded us with his benefits, and is our covenant God, and therefore will we fear and serve him.
