Conquering Past Fears
Commentators like Calvin and Barnes highlight that the Anakim were the very 'giants' who terrified the spies in Numbers 13, causing Israel's 40 years of wandering. Their specific defeat here is a powerful demonstration of God's faithfulness. It proved to Israel that God could overcome the very thing they feared most, encouraging them to trust Him with seemingly impossible challenges.
