How preachers through history handled this text

7 public-domain excerpts on Joshua 11, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 4 Calvin 2 John Wesley 1

“Never let the sons of Anak be a terror to the Israel of God, for their day to fall will come. The land rested from war. It ended not in a peace with the Canaanites, that was forbidden, but in a peace from them. There is a rest, a rest from war, remaining for the people of God, into which they shall enter, when their warfare is accomplished. That which was now done, is compared with what had been said to Moses. God's word and his works, if viewed together, will be found mutually to set each other forth. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Joshua 11:15–30 (Public Domain)
