Acts 13:19

Canaan

17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.

18 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.

And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.

20 All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
