Joshua 11:23

Joshua 11:23

21 And at that time Joshua came and cut off ^athe Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only ^ain Gaza, in Gath, ^band in Ashdod.

23 So Joshua took the whole land, ^aaccording to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel ^baccording to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land ^crested from war.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Joshua 11:22

Joshua 12:1 >>

The whole land - That is, the greatest and best part of it, for some parts are expressly excepted in the following history. All that the Lord said unto Moses - God had promised to drive out the nations before them. And now the promise was fulfilled. Our successes and enjoyments are then doubly comfortable, when we see them flowing to us from the promise. This is according to what the Lord hath said: our obedience is acceptable, when it has an eye to the precept. And if we make a conscience of our duty, we need not question the performance of the promise.
