Joshua is democratic in this chapter. Joshua, instead of just choosing twelve guys, like he chose the two spies, asked the twelve tribes to pick a man each for them. Their role will be seen in the next chapter, but what I see is that there are times when God and God's leaders choose, and there are times when God or God's leaders say, You choose. I'm sure that I could try and guess why this time was okay for the tribes to choose and the other time it wasn't, but really, we aren't told. This reminds me that there are times I understand what God is doing and He makes it clear, and there are times He doesn't say. We need to be okay with this and enjoy the times God says, You choose.
