And the Lord gave them rest round about
Not only from their travels, with which they had been fatigued
forty years in the wilderness, but from wars with the Canaanites
they had been engaged in for some years past:
according to all that he sware unto their
fathers;
not only to give them the land, but peace, rest, and safety in
it:
and there stood not a man of all their enemies before
them;
for whenever any rose up to oppose them, they were immediately
cut off: this is to be understood while Joshua was living; for
afterwards, sinning against God, they were again and again
delivered up into the hands of their enemies:
the Lord delivered all their enemies into their
hands;
that is, that made war with them.
