Hebron later becomes a city of refuge and a Levitical city, further emphasizing its importance. who drove out the descendants of the three sons of Anak The descendants of Anak, known as the Anakim, were a race of giants mentioned inNumbers 13:33. Their presence in the land was a source of fear for the Israelites during the initial exploration of Canaan. Caleb's successful expulsion of these formidable inhabitants is a testament to his faith and courage, as well as God's faithfulness in enabling His people to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This act of driving out the Anakim can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over the powers of darkness. Persons / Places / Events 1.

It is remarkable that after this time Judah is only mentioned inJudges 10:9;Judges 15:10;Judges 20:18. The tribe produced no judge, with the possible exception of Ibzan (seeJudges 12:8), nor is it mentioned in the song of Deborah.

"As the nation gained in settled position and command of the soil it lost in unity and strength of external action. Each tribe looked out for itself"(Ewald, ii. 264). . . . Verse 20. - They gave Hebron, etc. Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, an Edomitish tribe, was one of the spies sent up to spy the land, and in doing so he came to Hebron, and there saw the giants, the sons of Anak ( Numbers 13:22). When all the spies brought up an evil report of the land, and by doing so raised a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, Caleb the Kenezite, alone with Joshua, stood firm, and, as a reward of his faithfulness, received the promise that he and his seed should possess the land on which his feet had trodden. Accordingly Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the Kenezite (see Numbers 13, 14; Deuteronomy 1:36; Joshua 14:6-15; Joshua 15:13, 14). CHAPTER 1:21-36
