Joshua 21:45 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

These verses contain a beautiful summary of God's faithfulness to his people. He had now accomplished what he had said. He had given them Canaan, brought them to his holy mountain, divided to them their several portions, driven out all their enemies before them, and now appeals, as it were, to their own consciences, whether that precious character, in which he had revealed himself to them, and in which Jehovah himself seemed to glory, in that of a faithful God, was not most fully confirmed. Deuteronomy 7:9. And, Reader! while contemplating God's faithfulness, to his covenant engagements to Israel, fail not to connect with it, the certain confirmation of the same glorious character to Israel now. God is faithful, (saith Paul) who hath called us to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ. Sweet relief to the soul of the believer under all his own unfaithfulness and unbelief. 1Co 1:9; 2 Timothy 2:13.

Joshua 21:43-45

43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
