And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

Verse 44 is found in chapter 21 of Joshua. The narrator gives a theological interpretation of the entire process of conquest and distribution: the Lord gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their ancestors, gave them rest, and none of their enemies could withstand them. The statement summarizes the book’s perspective on the fulfillment of God’s promises. It does not mean that every future threat has disappeared, but that the central promise of receiving the land and resting from war has been fulfilled within Joshua’s narrative framework.

Und der HERR gab ihnen Ruhe von allen umher, wie er ihren Vätern geschworen hatte, und stand ihrer Feinde keiner wider sie, sondern alle ihre Feinde gab er in ihre Hände.
Y Jehová les dio reposo alrededor, conforme a todo lo que había jurado a sus padres: y ninguno de todos los enemigos les paró delante, sino que Jehová entregó en sus manos a todos sus enemigos.
L'Eternel leur accorda du repos tout alentour, comme il l'avait juré à leurs pères; aucun de leurs ennemis ne put leur résister, et l'Eternel les livra tous entre leurs mains.
E il Signore diede loro riposo d’ogn’intorno, interamente come avea giurato a’ lor padri; e niuno, d’infra tutti i lor nemici, potè stare a fronte a loro: il Signore diede loro nelle mani tutti i lor nemici.
E o SENHOR lhes deu repouso de todos os lados, conforme a tudo quanto jurara a seus pais; e nenhum de todos os seus inimigos pôde resisti-los; todos os seus inimigos o SENHOR entregou-lhes nas mãos.
耶和華照著向他們列祖起誓所應許的一切,賜給他們全境安寧。他們所有的仇敵,沒有一個能在他們面前站立得住。耶和華把所有仇敵都交在他們手中。
