Joshua 21:43-45

Contemporary English Version

Israel Settles in the Land

⁴³ The Lord gave the Israelites the land he had promised their ancestors, and they captured it and settled in it. ⁴⁴ There still were enemies around Israel, but the Lord kept his promise to let his people live in peace. And whenever the Israelites did have to go to war, no enemy could defeat them. The Lord always helped Israel win. ⁴⁵ The Lord promised to do many good things for Israel, and he kept his promise every time.
