Context of Joshua 21:45

43So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. 44And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true.
