Context of Joshua 1:9

 After Moses' death, Jehovah directed that Joshua lead the nation of Israel. (Joshua 1:1, 2) At that time, the Israelites were poised to enter the Promised Land, the Land of Canaan. But powerful enemies stood before them. For example, Joshua had to wage war against the Canaanites who were exceedingly wicked. (Deuteronomy 9:5; 20:17, 18) The Canaanites were also more numerous and better equipped militarily than the Israelites. (Joshua 9:1, 2; 17:18) But Joshua courageously followed Jehovah's instructions. And God did prove to be with him, for the Israelites conquered the majority of their enemies in just six years. - JOSHUA 21:43, 44.
