John Gill Commentary Joshua 7:9

"For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do for thy great name?" — Joshua 7:9 (ASV)

For the Canaanites
Those that dwell on the east and on the west of the land, see (Joshua 11:3) ; who were one of the seven nations:

and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it] ;
of this defeat; not only the Amorites, among whom they now were, and the Canaanites before mentioned, but the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites;

and shall environ us round ;
come with all their forces from all parts of the land, and surround us, so that there will be no escaping for us:

and cut off our name from the earth ;
utterly destroy us, that we shall be no more a nation and people, and the name of an Israelite no more be heard of, see (Psalms 83:4) ;

and what wilt thou do unto thy great name ?
this, though mentioned last, was uppermost in the heart of Joshua, and was reserved by him as his strongest argument with God to appear for them and save them; since his own glory, the glory of his perfections, his wisdom, goodness, power, truth, and faithfulness, was so much concerned in their salvation.
