This chapter continues the theme of the one before - namely Joshua, near the end of his life, calling the Israelites to remain faithful to the Lord. We see the response of the leaders in that time as well, and they affirm that the Lord will be their God and they will serve Him.
The book ends with Joshua dying, at the age of 110, and the current high priest (Eleazar, son of Aaron) as well. We are told, though, that while Joshua's generation lasted the Israelites did faithfully obey God - but the way that was phrased does not bode well for those following them.
