And the Lord drave out from before us all the people,.... The seven nations of the land of Canaan:
even the Amorites which dwelt in the land; the strongest and most populous of the nations, Amos 2:9, or especially the Amorites, so Vatablus; or "with the Amorites", as others; those that lived on the other side Jordan, over whom Sihon and Og reigned:
[therefore] will we also serve the Lord: as well as Joshua and his house, for the reasons before given, because he had done such great and good things for them:
for he [is] our God: that has made and preserved us, and loaded us with his benefits, and is our covenant God, and therefore will we fear and serve him.
