Wesley's Notes for Joshua 24:8

24:7 Your eyes - He speaketh this to the elders, ver.#1|, who were so, not only by power and dignity, but many of them by age; and there being now not sixty years past since those Egyptian plagues, it is very probable that a considerable number of those present, had seen those things in Egypt, and being not twenty years old, were exempted from that dreadful sentence passed upon all who were older, #Numb 14:29|.

24:9 Balak warred - Balak warred, tho' not by open force, yet by crafty counsel and warlike stratagems, by wicked devices.

24:10 Unto Balaam - Who hereby appears to have desired of God leave to curse Israel; and therefore it is not strange, that God who permitted him simply to go, was highly angry with him for going with so wicked an intent, #Numb 22:20|,22,32. Delivered you - That is, from Balak's malicious design against you.
