We ourselves will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And every one of you fastened on his weapons of war and thought it easy to go up into the hill country. 42And the Lord said to me, b‘Say to them, Do not go up or fight, cfor I am not in your midst, lest you be defeated before your enemies.’ 43So I spoke to you, and you would not listen; but you rebelled against the command of the Lord and dpresumptuously went up into the hill country. 44 eThen the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you fas bees do and beat you down in Seir as far as gHormah.Joshua 17:16-18

You shall not have one allotment only, 18but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders. For you shall drive out the Canaanites, jthough they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”1 Samuel 4:10
