This phrase highlights their proactive role in fulfilling God's command to take possession of the Promised Land. The Canaanites were the indigenous people of the region, known for their idolatrous practices, which were in direct opposition to the worship of Yahweh. This march signifies the continuation of the conquest that began under Joshua, emphasizing the need for obedience to God's commands.who were living in Hebron Hebron is one of the oldest cities in the world, with significant biblical history. It was previously the home of Abraham, who purchased the Cave of Machpelah there as a burial site for his wife Sarah (Genesis 23). Hebron's strategic location in the hill country of Judah made it a key city in the conquest. The city's association with the patriarchs added spiritual significance to its capture, symbolizing the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham.(formerly known as Kiriath-arba) Kiriath-arba means "City of Arba," named after Arba, who was considered the greatest man among the Anakim, a race of giants (<a href="/joshua/14-15.htm">Joshua 14:15</a>). The renaming of the city to Hebron reflects the transition from Canaanite to Israelite control and the establishment of a new identity under God's covenant people. This change signifies the transformation and redemption of the land from paganism to a place of worship for Yahweh.and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai These three individuals are identified as descendants of Anak, the Anakim, known for their formidable size and strength (<a href="/numbers/13-33.htm">Numbers 13:33</a>). Their defeat by the tribe of Judah demonstrates God's power and faithfulness in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This victory serves as a reminder of God's promise to give the land to the Israelites and foreshadows the ultimate triumph of God's people over evil. The conquest of these giants can also be seen as a type of Christ's victory over sin and death, as He conquers the spiritual giants that stand against humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a> One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's son Judah.
