Joshua 1:16 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. — Joshua 1:16
Source Coverage: Joshua 1:16-18
The people of Israel engage to obey Joshua; All that thou commandest us to do we will readily do, without murmuring or disputing, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go. The best we can ask of God for our magistrates, is, that they may have the presence of God; that will make them blessings to us, so that in seeking this for them, we consult our own interest. May we be enabled to enlist under the banner of the Captain of our salvation, to be obedient to his commands, and to
fight the good fight of faith, with all that trust in and love his name, against all who oppose his authority; for whoever refuses to obey him must be destroyed.
