Josh. 15:1–63 As the distribution of western lands begins, the important tribe of Judah receives its land first. The tribal boundaries are described (vv. 1–12), followed by listings of cities according to region (vv. 20–62).
Josh. 15:8 Jerusalem was not fully conquered until the time of David (2 Sam. 5:6–10). For other attempts to conquer Jerusalem, see Judg. 1:8, 21.
Josh. 15:13–19 he gave to Caleb . . . Caleb drove out. See note on 14:6–15. Othniel (15:17) reappears as a judge-deliverer in Judg. 3:7–11.
Josh. 15:63 How is it that the people of Judah could not drive out their enemies? In 17:12 the Manassites are unable to occupy certain towns because “the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.” In 17:16 the Ephraimites cite Canaanite possession of “chariots of iron” as preventing them from taking the plains. These statements seem to contrast with the dominant theological conviction of the book of Joshua that “the hand of the Lord is mighty” (4:24). Perhaps statements of what Israel “could not” do are to be read as early evidence of spiritual decline, which will become increasingly evident in the book of Judges. The note that the Canaanites dwell with the people of Judah at Jerusalem to this day recalls Moses’ repeated warnings against allowing the Canaanites to survive and live among the Israelites (see note on 6:17–18).
