# After Joshua died

This begins a new event. In the previous story, Joshua reminded the Israelites of their promise to obey God. This story transitions to what the Israelites actually did after Joshua died. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]])

# and they did not drive out

This tells how they disobeyed God, so in some languages it may be better to start this as a new sentence: “They did not…”

# drive out the rest of the Canaanites from the Promised Land

This can be translated as: “fight with the rest of the Canaanites to force them to leave the Promised Land.”

# the true God

This could mean ‘the only real God.’ Yahweh is the only one that people should worship.

# so everyone did what they thought

The connecting word **so** connects the reason (Israel had no king), with the result (everyone did what they thought was right rather than what God said). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])

# what they thought was right for themselves

This means that they all did whatever they wanted to do, including many evil things.
