From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

At that time -i. e. in course of the “long time” mentioned inJoshua 11:18. The Anakims -SeeNumbers 13:22. As it was the report of the spies respecting the Anakims which, above all, struck terror into the Israelites in the wilderness, and caused their faithless complaining and revolt, so the sacred writer goes back here in his story to record pointedly the overthrow of this gigantic and formidable race. They had their chief settlements in the mountains around HebronJoshua 10:3or Debir. SeeJoshua 15:15. Anab was a city in the mountain district of Judah, lying some distance south of Hebron.
