יהושע, פרק כ״א, פסוק מ״ד

The fulfillment of the divine promise made to the forefathers finally became a reality, marked by a period of absolute peace and military dominance. God granted the Israelites a comprehensive rest, ensuring that the surrounding nations did not provoke them at all [מצודת דוד].

The primary approach among commentators is that no enemy was able to withstand the Israelites. No opposing force managed to overpower them, survive their campaigns, or maintain any lasting presence against them. God delivered complete victory, handing every adversary over to the Israelites. From His side, the triumph was absolute and fully realized, even though in practice, there were certain places where the tribes themselves failed to drive out the local inhabitants [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
