Here is wont to be demanded, how these cities Hebron and Debir should be written in the book of Joshua to have ben taken of Joshua, when as it is here put that Caleb conquered them,1 whereunto I answer that all that war was governed by the conduct of Joshua, who was the chief and principal governor of the whole host, but the principal setting forward against Hebron and other places adjoining thereunto was committed unto Caleb the chief of the tribe of Judah, and that not without a cause. For he, as it is written in the xiiii. chap. of Joshua, desired to have that part assigned peculiarly unto him for his inheritance: which requests he easily obtained. For he required the same, trusting to God his promises:2 for when he was sent with other spies to view the land of Canaan, he faithfully made relation of the things as they were in deed, & not unfaithfully as his fellows did. Neither was he an author of the peoples sedition as the other were, yea he rather encouraged the peoples minds, and diminished those things which his fellows had amplified concerning the fence of the cities, of the giants also, and of the strength of the Canaanites. For he regarded not mans strength, but with a singular faith, most constantly remembered the power, the goodness & promises of god. Wherefore god being angry with the rest, destroyed them in the wilderness, so that they came not to the promised land. But he promised Caleb for his faithfulness this inheritance, which when he afterward demanded, he put Joshua in remembrance of the thing before done, and of the promises of God.
