Commentary on Joshua 11:22

Theological / Devotional

Only in Gaza. Though these Anakim were now for the most part subdued, yet numbers of them escaped and took refuge in the country and cities that later belonged to the Philistines, and settled there. Goliath and other giants seem to have descended from them. From here they appear to have returned and again occupied Hebron (eh. 15:13, 14) before Israel was able to subdue the land. Years later after Joshua’s death, they were again driven out by Caleb and Othniel (Judges 1:9, 10).
