The Continuing Conquest of Canaan

After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel inquired of the Lord, “Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”

The Death of Joshua

When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land.

And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel.

And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years.

I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died,

So the Lord left those nations, not driving them out quickly, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
