Josué 11:20

Listen to Josué 11:20

Josué 11:20 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:20

For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts
As he hardened the hearts of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, that his power might be displayed in their destruction:

that they should come against Israel battle;
and so fall in it:

that he might destroy them utterly;
for their abominable wickedness, idolatry, incest they had been guilty of:

[and] that they might have no favour;
which they would have had, had they made peace as the Gibeonites did; or that they might not pray and make supplication, the Lord not giving them a spirit of supplication, but an hard heart, as Gussetius F6 observes the words may be interpreted, though he seems to prefer the former, sense:

but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses;
( Deuteronomy 7:1 Deuteronomy 7:2 ) .

Josué 11:20 In-Context

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.
22 Nenhum enaquim foi deixado vivo no território israelita; somente em Gaza, em Gate e em Asdode é que alguns sobreviveram.
