Josué 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:19

There was not a city that made peace with the children of
Israel
Though, according to the Jews, Joshua, upon his first landing in Canaan, sent letters and messages to all the inhabitants of the land, offering them peace on certain terms; particularly that he sent three messages, or proposed three things to them; that those who had a mind to flee might flee; that those who were desirous of making peace might make it; and they that were for war, let them fight; all were for the last, and so perished ^F5:

save the Hivites and the inhabitants of Gibeon;
these, some have thought, did not hear of the offers of peace, others think they did, and at first rejected them, but repenting were obliged to take the crafty methods they did to obtain it, of which see ( Joshua 9:1-5 ) ;

all [other] they took in battle;
refusing to submit to them and make peace with them.

Josué 11:19 In-Context

17 desde o monte Halaque, que se ergue na direção de Seir, até Baal-Gade, no vale do Líbano, no sopé do monte Hermom. Ele capturou todos os seus reis e os matou.

18 Josué guerreou contra todos esses reis por muito tempo.

19 Com exceção dos heveus que viviam em Gibeom, nenhuma cidade fez a paz com os israelitas, que a todas conquistou em combate.

20 Pois foi o próprio SENHOR que lhes endureceu o coração para guerrearem contra Israel, para que ele os destruísse totalmente, exterminando-os sem misericórdia, como o SENHOR tinha ordenado a Moisés.

21 Naquela ocasião Josué exterminou os enaquins dos montes de Hebrom, de Debir e de Anabe, de todos os montes de Judá e de Israel. Josué destruiu-os totalmente e também as suas cidades.
