Joshua 19:

So the rest of the tribes are given their inheritance and the land is divided amongst them.

They also gave to Joshua an inheritance, Timnathserah in mount Ephraim, where he built a city and dwelt there.

This ended the dividing of the land.

Joshua 20:

Here we have a precious precious provision from God, called "cities of refuge". And God provided these cities for those who might be falsely accused of something, or may have killed someone accidentally, so that the families of the accidentally killed ones would not kill the one who accidentally killed someone.

The 6 cities of refuge were:

Kedesh
Shechem
Hebron
Bezer
Ramoth
Golan

God is such a merciful and gracious and JUST God.

Joshua 21:

So God sees to it that all of the Israelites were given their land, and that it was possessed by the Israelites and the Levites. All that God had promised, came to pass. And they dwelt therein.

And God had given ALL of their enemies into their hand.

And there was peace.

"And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand. There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass." ~Joshua 21:43-45

Joshua 22:

"And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God." ~Joshua 22:34

So Joshua calls the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh to him, and commends them for fulfilling their vow to fight with their brethren as they possessed the land of their inheritance, and he admonished them to keep the laws of God and to love God with all that is in them, and he blessed them, and sent them back to their own land that Moses had given them, on the other side of the Jordan.

When they reached the other side of the Jordan, they built a HUGE altar that nearly caused a war with their brethren on the other side of the Jordan, because they found it offensive. Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and ten princes came to ask why they had committed such a trespass. They answered them, saying that they did not build the altar for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice, but as a memorial that they are still very much a part of their brethren on the other side of the Jordan.

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest and the ten princes were pleased to hear this. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

So there was no war, but peace reigned.

Joshua 23:

Joshua has gotten older and stricken in age, and he knows that he will die soon. He gives his farewell, so to speak, and admonishes all of Israel, admonishing them to heed God, Who kept His promises and was soooo faithful to them. He admonishes them to be courageous and to cleave unto God, ALWAYS, and to never ever forget what God has done for them.

Traditional site of Joshua's Tomb:

Biblical tradition places the tomb of Joshua, Caleb, and Nun according to Joshua 24:30 in Timnath-heres which is attributed to be the current location of Kifl Haris. Thousands make the pilgrimage to the tombs on the annual commemoration of Joshua's death, 26th of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar.

Judges 1:

We now begin the 7th book of the Old Testament, the book of Judges.

Joshua had died, and there is no general or leader, so to speak, so the people inquire of God who should lead in the fight to take their land from the Canaanites, because they had not been driven out, as they should have been, as God had instructed the Israelites to do.
