Commentary on Deuteronomy 9:2
Theological / DevotionalPeople. See Numbers 13:28, 32.
Anakims. Literally, “the long-necked ones.” They appear to have descended from Anak. Arba, founder of Hebron (Joshua 14:15; 15:13), was a chief of the Anakim. They were scattered over the hill country of Judah (see Numbers 13:22, 28, 33).
Children of Anak. After the Israelite conquest none of the Anakim remained in Judah, but a small remnant survived in Philistia (Joshua 11:22; 2 Samuel 21:16; 1 Chronicles 20:4). It is thought that Goliath was a descendant of the Anakim (Numbers 13:33; Joshua 11:22; 1 Samuel 17:4).
