Commentary on Joshua 17:12

Theological / Devotional

Would dwell. This indicates the stubbornness of the Canaanites in refusing to be evicted from this territory. It also carries with it a reflection on the unbelief and cowardice of the Israelites. If they had put forth the requisite effort, God would have wrought with them to give them complete victory.
