John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 7:9

Thy great name — Which will upon this occasion be blasphemed and charged with inconstancy, and with inability to resist them, or to do thy people that good which thou didst intend them. The name of God is a great name, above every name. And whatever happens, we ought to pray, that this may not be polluted. This should be our concern more than any thing else: on this we should fix our eye: and we cannot urge a better plea than this, Lord, what wilt thou do for thy great name? Let God in all be glorified, and then welcome his whole will!

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(e) When your enemies will blaspheme you and say that you were not able to defend us from them.
