Our meditation comes from the last verse (but do not skip the rest of this long reading). After all the victories that had been won in the previous years, there was still work to be done. The Jebusites still controlled Jerusalem. The author says that they could not drive them out—no reason is given, but we can be sure that it was not due to any failure on the part of God. A search of your Bible will show that they caused trouble for centuries, even in the time of David (1 Chronicles 11). Let us not fail to overcome our “Jebusites” (1 John 5:4-5).
