Joshua 23:9 - Additional Comments

"So clear and cheap were all their victories, during the course of this long war, that no man had been able to stand before them, that is, to make head against them, so as to put them in fear, create them any difficulty, or give any check to the progress of their victorious arms. In every battle they carried the day, and in every siege they carried the city; their loss before Ai was upon a particular occasion, was inconsiderable, and only served to show them on what terms they stood with God; but, otherwise, never was army crowned with such a constant uninterrupted series of successes as the armies of Israel were in the wars of Canaan." -- Matthew Henry
In the same way that Pharaoh and the Egyptians did not turn to God despite His obvious presence and power, neither were these nations who were being disposed by the Israelites. Yet, Nineveh turned (Jonah 3:4-5), as did the king in Daniel (Dan 3:27-29), as did the people when Elijah's God lit the fire but Baal could not (1 Ki 18:39).
