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 el monte de Halac, que sube hasta Seir, hasta Baal-gad en la llanura del L铆bano, a las ra铆ces del monte Herm贸n; tom贸 asimismo todos sus reyes, los cuales hiri贸 y mat贸.
18 Por muchos d铆as tuvo guerra Josu茅 con estos reyes.
19 No hubo ciudad que hiciese paz con los hijos de Israel, sacados los heveos, que moraban en Gaba贸n; todo lo tomaron por guerra.
20 Porque esto vino del SE脩OR, que endurec铆a el coraz贸n de ellos para que resistiesen con guerra a Israel, para destruirlos, y que no les fuese hecha misericordia, antes fuesen desarraigados, como el SE脩OR lo hab铆a mandado a Mois茅s.
21 Tambi茅n en el mismo tiempo vino Josu茅 y destruy贸 a los anaceos de los montes, de Hebr贸n, de Debir, y de Anab, y de todos los montes de Jud谩, y de todos los montes de Israel; Josu茅 los destruy贸 a ellos y a sus ciudades.
