14 Und Kaleb trieb von dannen aus die drei Söhne Enaks, Scheschai und Achiman und Talmai, Kinder Enaks.

Josua 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:14

And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak
Some think this was after the death of Joshua, and is here inserted by some other person divinely inspired, and thoroughly acquainted with this fact, that the gift and the possession of this place might appear in one view; but it rather seems to be done before:

Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak;
the very same giants Caleb saw at Hebron, when he was sent a spy into the land, ( Numbers 13:22 ) ; for these may as well be supposed to have lived to this time as himself, unless it can be thought that they were the sons of those men, called by their fathers' names; and though they were driven out when Joshua took Hebron, yet while he was engaged in making other conquests, or however before he died, they regained the possession of that city, and of the parts adjacent to it, from whence Caleb, with the help of his tribe, expelled them, conquered, and slew them, ( Judges 1:10 ) .

Josua 15:14 In-Context

12 Und die Westgrenze war das große Meer und das Angrenzende. Das war die Grenze der Kinder Juda ringsum nach ihren Geschlechtern.

13 Und Kaleb, dem Sohne Jephunnes, gab er ein Teil inmitten der Kinder Juda, nach dem Befehle Jehovas an Josua: Die Stadt Arbas, des Vaters Enaks, das ist Hebron.

14 Und Kaleb trieb von dannen aus die drei Söhne Enaks, Scheschai und Achiman und Talmai, Kinder Enaks.

15 Und von dannen zog er hinauf gegen die Bewohner von Debir; der Name von Debir war aber vordem Kirjath-Sepher.

16 Und Kaleb sprach: Wer Kirjath-Sepher schlägt und es einnimmt, dem gebe ich meine Tochter Aksa zum Weibe.
