The Continuing Conquest of Canaan

Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”

And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

Death of Joshua

So 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 works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

Now Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died when he was one hundred and ten years old.

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

Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out immediately; nor did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
