In context

11I am still strong this day, as when the Lord sent me: just so strong am I now to go out and to come in for war.

12And now I ask of thee this mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for thou heardest this word on that day; and now the Anakim are there, cities great and strong: if then the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said to me.

— Joshua 14:13 —

14Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel.

15And the name of Hebron before was the city Arba, it is the metropolis of the Anakim: and the land rested from war.
