1. Joshua 14:15 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How could the land have rest from war if Caleb was about to go and fight against the Anakites?

Joshua 14:15 (ESV)

15 Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba. (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim.) And the land had rest from war.

It is unclear how the land could rest from war if Caleb was going to go and fight to take the city of Hebron. Presumably this expression relates back to Joshua 11:23 to signify that the conquest was completed and land was now being occupied.
