It happened after the death of Yehoshua, the children of Yisra'el asked of the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Kena`anim, to fight against them?
The people served the LORD all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Yehoshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked for Yisra'el.
