44And 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.
45There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
