Commentaries on Joshua 13:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Misrephoth-maim - See on Joshua 11:7; (note). These will I drive out - That is, if the Israelites continued to be obedient; but they did not, and therefore they never fully possessed the whole of that land which, on this condition alone, God had promised them: the Sidonians were never expelled by the Israelites, and were only brought into a state of comparative subjection in the days of David and Solomon.
