Albert Barnes Commentary Judges 2:8

"And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old." — Judges 2:8 (ASV)

The servant of the Lord - This is a title especially given to Moses (Deuteronomy 34:5; Joshua 1:1). In later books, the phrase “the servant of God” is used (1 Chronicles 6:49; Nehemiah 10:29; Daniel 9:11; Revelation 15:3). It is applied to Joshua only here and in Joshua 24:29. It is spoken of David (Psalms 18, title), and generally of the prophets; and, like the analogous phrase, “man of God,” is transferred by Paul to the ministers of Christ under the New Testament (2 Timothy 2:24; James 1:1).
