Judges 1:20 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.'

This repeats what has already been described in Judges 1:10 with the addition that Hebron and its surrounding area was specifically allotted to Caleb and his family in accordance with the word of Moses. Hebron was actually made a Levitical city. The three sons of Anak were as in Judges 1:10. The stress here is that Moses' words came true. The divine history is seen as one ongoing history, being fulfilled within the plan of God.

Judges 1:20

20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
