Contextual Overview
1 And it happened many days after Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, that Joshua was old, going on in days. 2 And Joshua called for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its officers, and said to them, I have become old, I have gone on in days; 3 and you have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God was He who was fighting for you. 4 Behold, I have caused to fall to you these nations that are left to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea, toward the setting of the sun. 5 And Jehovah your God will thrust them out from before you, and will dispossess them from before you, and you shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God has spoken to you. 6 And you shall be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it to the right or to the left; 7 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and that you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor shall you swear, nor shall you serve them, nor shall you bow yourselves to them. 8 But you shall cling to Jehovah your God, as you have done until today. 9 And Jehovah has dispossessed from before you great and mighty nations. As for you no one has stood before you until today. 10 One man of you shall pursue a thousand; for Jehovah your God is He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And ye have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto all those nations because of you,.... How he had destroyed them, and driven them out of their habitations to make room for them, meaning the seven nations of the Canaanites:
for the Lord your God [is] he that hath fought for you; Joshua does not attribute any of the things that were done to his own valour, nor theirs, nor so much as mentions himself or them as instruments, but wholly ascribes all to the Lord, who fought their battles for them, and conquered their enemies, and subdued them under them; the Targum is,
"the Word of the Lord fought for you;''
the Captain of the host of the Lord, Joshua 5:14.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 23:3. For the Lord your God is he that hath fought for you. — There is much both of piety and modesty in this address. It was natural for the Israelites to look on their veteran, worn-out general, who had led them on from conquest to conquest, with profound respect; and to be ready to say, "Had we not had such a commander, we had never got possession of this good land." Joshua corrects this opinion, and shows them that all their enemies had been defeated, because the Lord their God had fought for them. That the battle was the Lord's, and not his; and that God alone should have the glory.
