A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Joshua took the whole land--The battle of the take of Merom was to the north what the battle of Beth-horon was to the south; more briefly told and less complete in its consequences; but still the decisive conflict by which the whole northern region of Canaan fell into the hands of Israel [STANLEY].

1 Now Joshua [03091] was old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Thou art old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117], and there remaineth [07604] yet very [03966] much [07235] land [0776] to be possessed [03423].
2 This is the land [0776] that yet remaineth [07604]: all the borders [01552] of the Philistines [06430], and all Geshuri [01651],
3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]:
4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]:
5 And the land [0776] of the Giblites [01382], and all Lebanon [03844], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121], from Baalgad [01171] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768] unto the entering [0935] into Hamath [02574].
6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee.
21 To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I grant [1325] to sit [2523] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] my [3450] throne [2362], even [2504] as [5613] I also [2504] overcame [3528], and [2532] am set down [2523] with [3326] my [3450] Father [3962] in [1722] his [846] throne [2362].
