Caleb's request

Chapter 13 of the book of Joshua opens with God telling Joshua that not only was he old, there was still much land to be conquered.

The rest of the chapter spells out what tribes will occupy which territories.

In chapter 14, it tells of a man named Caleb, who was 85 years old and told Joshua that, when Moses and the Israelites first came upon the lands, Moses sent Caleb and a group of men off to explore the lands west of the Jordan River.  The other men were afraid, but Caleb stayed true to God and gave an honest report.  Moses promised Caleb and his people that the land west of the Jordan would be his.

Joshua granted Caleb's request.

And for once there was peace in that land.
