43 So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had solemnly promised to their ancestors,[a] and they conquered[b] it and lived in it. 44 The Lord made them secure,[c] in fulfillment of all he had solemnly promised their ancestors.[d] None of their enemies could resist them.[e] The Lord handed all their enemies over to them.[f] 45 Not one of the Lord’s faithful promises to the family of Israel[g] was left unfulfilled; every one was realized.[h]

Summary of the conquest
43 The Lord gave to Israel all the land he had pledged to give to their ancestors. They took it over and settled there. 44 The Lord gave them rest from surrounding danger, exactly as he had pledged to their ancestors. Not one of all their enemies held out against them. The Lord gave all their enemies into their power. 45 Not one of all the good things that the Lord had promised to the house of Israel failed. Every promise was fulfilled.
