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 Tambi茅n se apoder贸 de todos los territorios, desde la monta帽a de Jalac que se eleva hacia Se铆r, hasta Baal Gad en el valle del L铆bano, a las faldas del monte Herm贸n. Josu茅 captur贸 a todos los reyes de esa regi贸n y los ejecut贸,
18 despu茅s de combatir con ellos por largo tiempo.
19 Ninguna ciudad hizo tratado de ayuda mutua con los israelitas, excepto los heveos de Gaba贸n. A todas esas ciudades Josu茅 las derrot贸 en el campo de batalla,
20 porque el SE脩OR endureci贸 el coraz贸n de los enemigos para que entablaran guerra con Israel. As铆 ser铆an exterminados sin compasi贸n alguna, seg煤n el mandato que el SE脩OR le hab铆a dado a Mois茅s.
21 En aquel tiempo Josu茅 destruy贸 a los anaquitas del monte Hebr贸n, de Debir, de Anab y de la regi贸n monta帽osa de Jud谩 e Israel. Habitantes y ciudades fueron arrasados por Josu茅.
