Joshua 21:43-45

43 So the Lord gave the people all the land he had promised their ancestors. The people took the land and lived there.
44 The Lord gave them peace on all sides, as he had promised their ancestors. None of their enemies defeated them; the Lord handed all their enemies over to them.
45 He kept every promise he had made to the Israelites; each one came true.
