And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.
45 Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass.
There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
