Joshua 21:44

And the Lord gave them rest Moreover He gave them rest round about, in accordance with His promise to their forefathers. Comp. (a) Exodus 33:14, "And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." (b) Deuteronomy 3:20, "Until the Lord have given restunto your brethren." (c) Deuteronomy 25:19, "When the Lord thy God hath given thee restfrom all thine enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."

there stood not a man "Noone of the Enemyes is hardi to withstoond hem," Wyclif. For even though the Canaanites were not all exterminated, yet those who remained did not venture upon an attack on the Israelites so long as they remained loyal and steadfast to their invisible King, and as long as Joshua and his contemporaries lived. "It was no part of the Divine purpose that the native population should be annihilated suddenly (Exodus 23:29; Deuteronomy 7:22); but they were delivered into the hand of Israel, and their complete dispossession could have been effected at any time by the Divine aid which was never wanting when sought."

the Lord delivered all their enemies See above ch. Joshua 2:24. Hence, though Israel after the death of Joshua became slothful in the work, and never obtained complete possession of the land, never, e.g. conquered Tyre and Sidon, still this was no breach of the Divine promise, for its completefulfilment depended upon Israel's fidelity.
