And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at one hundred and ten years old, and his death marks a turning point in the history of Israel's leadership. While Joshua lived, together with the elders and rulers who upheld what was right and honored God, they stood as sentinels for Israel. Their presence guarded the nation in faithfulness and obedience during that generation.
After their deaths, God raised up righteous kings to lead His people. This verse belongs to the continuing history of Israel's leadership from Joshua onward. That history extended through the following ages until the Son of God came to call Israel back to allegiance.
