Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 14:12

_ _ give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day — this highland region.

_ _ for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there — The report of the spies, who tried to kindle the flame of sedition and discontent, related chiefly to the people and condition of this mountain district, and hence it was promised as the reward of Caleb’s truth, piety, and faithfulness.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 14:6-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 14:12

This mountain — That is, this mountainous country. He names the country rather than the cities, because the cities were given to the Levites, Joshua 21:11, Joshua 21:13. Thou heardest — Didst understand, both by the reports of others, and by thy own observation. Hearing, the sense by which we get knowledge, is often put for knowing or understanding. If the Lord will be with me — A modest and pious expression, signifying both the absolute necessity of God's help, and his godly fear, lest God for his sins should deny his assistance to him; for although he was well assured in general, that God would crown his people with success in this war, yet he might doubt of his particular success in this or that enterprize. To drive them out — Out of their fastnesses where they yet remain, Caleb desires this difficult work as a testimony of his own faith, and as a motive to quicken his brethren to the like attempts.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Joshua 14:12

Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced: (e) if so be the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

(e) This he spoke out of modesty, and not from doubting.
