Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand,.... Who were very numerous, for though there were but seven nations, there were more kings, even one and thirty, Joshua 12:9,
thou shall destroy their name from under heaven; not only destroy the name of the reigning kings, so as that they should not be remembered and made mention of any more, but put an end to the name and race of kings among them, so that they should never have any more, as they never had:
there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them; the nations and their kings.

"To stand before thee:" lit., to put oneself in the face of a person, so as to withstand him. השׁמיד for השׁמיד, as in Leviticus 14:43, etc.

No man shall stand - This promise is made upon condition of their performance of their duty, which they neglecting, justly lose the benefit of it.
