Summary
In Joshua 24, the elderly Joshua gathers all the tribes of Israel at Shechem and reminds them of God's faithfulness throughout their history, from Abraham to their conquest of Canaan. He challenges the people to choose whether they will serve God or other gods, famously declaring, "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
