⁴⁴ And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

⁴⁵ There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
