Commentary

Matthew Henry on Joshua 24:1-14

Joshua thought he had taken his last farewell of Israel in the solemn charge he gave them in the foregoing chapter, when he said, I go the way of all the earth; but God graciously continuing his life longer than expected, and renewing his strength, he was desirous to improve it for the good of Israel. He did not say, "I have taken my leave of them once, and let that serve;" but, having yet a longer space given him, he summons them together again, that he might try what more he could do to engage them for God. Note, We must never think our work for God done till our life is done; and, if he lengthen out our days beyond what we thought, we must conclude it is because he has some further servic…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 24:4

I gave unto Esau mount Seir--(See on Gen 36:8). In order that he might be no obstacle to Jacob and his posterity being the exclusive heirs of Canaan.

Adam Clarke on Joshua 24:11

The men of Jericho fought against you - See the notes on Joshua 3:1-16 (note) and Jos 6:1 (note), etc. The people of Jericho are said to have fought against the Israelites, because they opposed them by shutting their gates, etc., though they did not attempt to meet them in the field.

John Gill on Joshua 24:11

And ye went over Jordan,.... In a miraculous manner, the waters parting to make way for the host of Israel: and came unto Jericho; the first city of any size and strength in the land, which was about seven or eight miles from Jordan; See Gill on Numbers 22:1, and the men of Jericho fought against you; by endeavouring to intercept their spies, and cut them off; by shutting up the gates of their city against Israel; and it may be throwing darts, arrows, and stones, from off the walls of it at them. Kimchi thinks that some of the great men of Jericho went out from thence, to give notice and warning to the kings of Canaan of the approach of the Israelites, and in the mean time the city was tak…

The Church Fathers

"And those who inhabited Jericho waged war against you." One might well ask how this statement could be true, when they were merely protecting themselves by hiding behind the walls and closing the city gates. But this is spoken correctly, since the closing of gates to an enemy is a sign of warfare. For the inhabitants of Jericho did not send ambassadors to ask for terms of peace.… For a war does not always have one battle after another. Some wars have frequent battles, some a few, still others none. A war, however, is when there is a disagreement involving arms in some way.
— Augustine of Hippo, QUESTIONS ON JOSHUA 26

And they made war (bellaverunt) against you the people who live in Jericho. We ask how this can be true when the people of Jericho only defended themselves inside the walls, once the doors were closed. But the affirmation is correct, because closing the doors against the enemy is an act of war, because they did not send legacies to ask for peace. Therefore, if it had been said: they fought (pugnaverunt) against you, it would be false. War does not consist of continuous struggles, but sometimes they are frequent, sometimes they are rare, and sometimes they do not even exist. But war exists when armed dissension occurs in some way.
