Well, they entered all right, they took it and settled in. The Canaanites who lived there you brought to their knees before them. You turned over their land, kings, and peoples to do with as they pleased. They took strong cities and fertile fields, they took over well-furnished houses, Cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, and lush, extensive orchards. And they ate, grew fat on the fat of the land; they reveled in your bountiful goodness.

4Then Jeshua rose up on the Levites' platform, along with Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and they cried out with a loud voice to Yahweh their God. 5And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, "Rise up, bless Yahweh your God from everlasting to everlasting!O may Your glorious name be blessedAnd exalted above all blessing and praise! 6You alone are Yahweh.You have made the heavens,The heaven of heavens with all their host,The earth and all that is on it,The seas and all that is in them.You give life to all of themAnd the heavenly host bows down to You. 7You are Yahweh God,Who chose AbramAnd brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees,And gave him the name Abraham. 8You found his heart faithful before You,And cut a covenant with himTo give him the land of the Canaanite,Of the Hittite and the Amorite,Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—To give it to his seed.And You have established Your promise,For You are righteous. 9"You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,And heard their cry by the Red Sea. 10Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,Against all his servants and all the people of his land;For You knew that they acted presumptuously toward them,And made a name for Yourself as it is this day. 11You split the sea before them,So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land;And their pursuers You cast into the depths,Like a stone into mighty waters. 12And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day,And with a pillar of fire by nightTo light for them the wayIn which they were to go. 13Then You came down on Mount Sinai,And spoke with them from heaven;You gave them upright judgments and true laws,Good statutes and commandments.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So the children went in and possessed the land,.... Not the fathers of the Israelites that came out of Egypt, they died in the wilderness, all excepting two, but their children, which seems to be the reason of this manner of expression, see Numbers 14:30
and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites; by means of Joshua, the general of the armies of Israel; there is an elegant paronomania in the word for "subdue", and the Canaanites, which cannot be expressed in our language:
and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would; no less than thirty one kings, see Joshua 12:9.
