Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 10:25

"And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight." — Joshua 10:25 (ASV)

Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage. —The very words spoken to Joshua by Jehovah (Joshua 1:9) with the exception of the word for fear, which is stronger in Joshua 1:9. Even ordinary fear is needless. Alarm is not to be thought of.
