Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Joshua 14:15

REFLECTIONS IN beholding the Lord's division of Canaan to his people, my soul would fain cry out, thou Lord shalt choose my heritage for me, and thou shalt be my hiding place forever. Instructed by thee, thou blessed Spirit, like Caleb, may the mountain of the spiritual Hebron be my portion, and there may I rest in Jesus in whom all fulness dwells. It is the well known character of the inhabitants of the gardens, to hearken to thy voice, to associate with thy people, to sit down at thine... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Joshua 14:13

Blessed him, wishing him all success. --- Gave him. Some think that Josue himself attacked the giants of that country with all the forces, as it is mentioned by anticipation, chap. x. 28. But there seems to be no need of this, as Caleb might attack them a second time with his own family and the assistance of the tribe of Juda, after they had seized those places again, while Josue was in the north. Hebron was granted to him without drawing lots. When he was besieging Cariath Sepher, he promised... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Joshua 14:14

Hebron belonged, &c. All the country thereabouts, depending on Hebron, was given to Caleb; but the city itself, with the suburbs, was one of those that were given to the priests to dwell in. (Challoner) --- Caleb might also dwell, (Calmet) and be lord of the city, (Salien) though the profits (Haydock) or the town belonged to the priests, chap. xxi. 11. (Worthington) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Joshua 14:15

Cariath Arbe, "the city of Arbe," and ancient giant; or "of four," which the Jews explain of four great patriarchs, who were buried there. --- Adam, &c. St. Jerome seems to favour the opinion that Adam was one of these, whose tomb ennobled Hebron, though many of the Fathers think he was buried on Mount Calvary. Others think that his body, or skull at least, was translated thither. But we cannot depend on any of these traditions. Most commentators explain the Hebrew, "The ancient name of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 14:6-15

6-15 Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it was formerly in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows how much he valued the promise. Those who live by faith value that which is given by God's promise, far above what is given by his providence only. It was now in the Anakims' possession, and Caleb would let Israel know how little he feared the enemy, and that he would encourage them to push on their conquests. Caleb answered to his name, which signifies... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Joshua 14:6-15

Caleb Granted Hebron for an Inheritance v. 6. Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal, this being the first interruption in the work of distributing the land; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses, the man of God, concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea, namely, in promising them a possession in the land of Canaan, Numbers 14:24, for the stand which they took over against the other spies after their... read more

3. Beginning of the DistributionJoshua 14:1-51And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan,1 which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children [sons] of Israel distributed for inheritance [a 2possession] to them. [,] By lot was their inheritance [by the lot of their possession], as the Lord [Jehovah] commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. 3For Moses had... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Joshua 14:1-15

the Man Who Wholly Followed His God Joshua 14:1-15 The lot was doubtless adopted to obviate cause for jealousy or charges of favoritism. It denoted God’s choice, Proverbs 16:33 ; Proverbs 18:18 . It could be used only with very evident reliance on Him, and in our day has been superseded by the sending of the Comforter to teach us all things, John 16:13 . It was long since Caleb had cut down the bunch of grapes near the spot of his choice, but he had never forgotten it; and now God, who had... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 14:1-15

The matter of supreme interest here is, of course, the story of Caleb, who, after forty-five years of waiting, claimed and obtained a definite possession in the land. His claim was made while there was much still to be done and he urged his unabated vigor as constituting his fitness for the work. The whole history of Caleb is full of interest and instruction. While perhaps it cannot be positively proven, it is yet most probable that he was a proselyte and a descendant of Esau. His victory at... read more

Dividing the Inheritances Joshua 14:6-15 ; Joshua 15:13-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have come to a very interesting place in the early history of Israel even to the dividing of the land, and to the allotting of the inheritances to each tribe, and family. The sad phase of all of this is given to the student for consideration. It is his to consider those who failed of their inheritances, and of entrance into Canaan. 1. A story of unbelief. We remember how the Children of Israel under Moses had... read more
