Joshua 24:31 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:31

And the children of Israel served the Lord all the days of
Joshua
Without going into idolatrous practices:

and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua;
that lived a few years longer than he; some of them that came young out of Egypt, and were now elderly men; and some of them doubtless were of the court of the seventy elders; these could not overlive Joshua a great many years, for, in the times of Chushanrishathaim, Israel fell into idolatry, ( Judges 2:6-8 ) ;

and which had known all the works of the Lord, that he had done for
Israel;
in Egypt, at the Red sea, in the wilderness, as well as since their coming into the land of Canaan.
