It happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
"Amorites ...  Canaanites ..." "All of the various peoples of Canaan "are here grouped together under the names of `Amorites' and `Canaanites.'"[2]  "Roughly speaking, the Amorites represented the dwellers in the highlands district, and the Canaanites referred to the dwellers on the maritime plain."[3]  Sometimes, "Canaanites, in a broader sense, means Palestine in general."[4]
