“Is not the Lord your God with you? etc.] Blessing them with wealth and riches: and hath he not given you rest on every side? from all enemies within and without; so that they had peace and quietness, and leisure to attend the service he recommended to them: for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; meaning the rest of the Canaanites, who before were unsubdued, as even the Jebusites in Jerusalem: and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people; and the extent of it carried to its utmost bounds, as God had promised.”
