Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 24:15

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah." — Joshua 24:15 (ASV)

The Amorites. —Here used generically for the inhabitants of Canaan.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. —For Joshua himself the service of Jehovah on earth was nearly over. He pledges his “house” to the same service. What is known of his family? It is a singular fact that no descendant of the great conqueror, no member of his household, is named in the Bible. In the genealogies of Ephraim in 1 Chronicles 7:27, Joshua’s name is the last in his own line (Joshua 24:27: Non his son, Jehoshuah his son).

I cannot help but regard the silence of Scripture in this regard as profoundly significant. It is one more analogy between the Joshua of the Old Testament and his great Antitype in the Gospel: whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end (Hebrews 3:6). The house of Joshua embraces all the faithful servants of the Lord.
