Acts 13:19. And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
The Lord did not run back from his covenant. He promised them a land flowing with milk and honey, and he gave it to them, even though seven nations had to be destroyed to make room for them. This verse reminds us of that passage in Isaiah: "since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life." He gave seven nations of Canaan for this one nation of Israel.
