SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:8
mas mis hermanos, los que habían subido conmigo, menguaron el corazón del pueblo; empero yo cumplí siguiendo al SEÑOR mi Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me , etc.] Meaning the rest of the spies, excepting Joshua, that went up with him into the land of Canaan to spy it, which they might be properly said to do, since they went up a hill or mountain, in order to go into it, ( Numbers 13:17); made the heart of the people melt ; discouraged them, filled them with fears, sunk their spirits, that their hearts flowed, and became as weak as water, having no strength left in them, or hope of possessing the land; being told what stout and gigantic men the inhabitants of it were, and how strongly fortified were their cities: but I wholly followed the Lord my God ; and did not join with them in an ill report of the good land; but having the fear of God before his eyes, walked after that, and delivered in his report faithfully, according to the dictates of his conscience, and the real sentiments of his mind; of this phrase, (see Gill on “ Numbers 14:24”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it wa formerly in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows ho much he valued the promise. Those who live by faith value that which is given by God's promise, far above what is given by his providence only It was now in the Anakims' possession, and Caleb would let Israel know how little he feared the enemy, and that he would encourage them to push on their conquests. Caleb answered to his name, which signifie "all heart." Hebron was settled on Caleb and his heirs, because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. Happy are we if we follow him Singular piety shall be crowned with singular favour __________________________________________________________________
