discouraged:
Heb. melted, "And the officersª ° shall speakª ° furtherª ° unto¹ the people,ª and they shall say,ª ° What¹ manª [is there that is] fearfulª and fainthearted?ª ª let him go² °¹ and returnª ° unto his house,ª lest¹ ¹ his brethren'sª heartª faintª ° as well as his heart.ª" {Deu 20:8} *marg. "Thenª the dukesª of Edomª shall be amazed;ª ° the mighty menª of Moab,ª tremblingª shall take hold² ° upon¹ them; all¹ the inhabitantsª ° of Canaanª shall melt away.ª °" {Exd 15:15} + "And she saidª ° unto¹ the men,² ¹ I knowª ° that¹ the LORDª hath givenª ° you¹ the land,ª and that¹ your terrorª is fallenª ° upon¹ us, and that¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª ° of the landª faintª ° because² of¹ ¹ you." {Jsh 2:9} + "And as soon as we had heardª ° [these things], our heartsª did melt,ª ° neither¹ did there remainª ° any more¹ courageª in any man,ª because² of¹ ¹ you: for¹ the LORDª your God,ª he¹ [is] Godª in heavenª above,ª ¹ and in¹ earthª beneath.¹ ¹" {Jsh 2:11} + "And they saidª ° unto¹ Joshua,ª Trulyª the LORDª hath deliveredª ° into our handsª ¹ all¹ the land;ª for even¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª ° of the countryª do faintª ° because² of¹ ¹ us." {Jsh 2:24} *marg. "Nevertheless my brethrenª that¹ went upª ° with¹ me made¹ the heartª of the peopleª melt:ª ° but I¹ whollyª ° followedª the LORDª my God.ª" {Jsh 14:8} + "Therefore¹ ¹ shall all¹ handsª be faint,ª ° and every¹ man'sª heartª shall melt:ª °" {Isa 13:7} + "And it shall be,¹ when¹ they sayª ° unto¹ thee, Wherefore¹ ¹ sighestª ° thou?¹ that thou shalt answer,ª ° For¹ the tidings;ª because¹ it cometh:ª ° and every¹ heartª shall melt,ª ° and all¹ handsª shall be feeble,ª ° and every¹ spiritª shall faint,ª ° and all¹ kneesª shall be weak² °¹ [as] water:ª behold,¹ it cometh,ª ° and shall be brought to pass,ª ° saithª ° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 21:7}

The people:
"Hear,ª ° O Israel:ª Thou¹ [art] to pass overª °¹ Jordanª this day,ª to go inª ° to possessª ° nationsª greaterª and mightierª than¹ thyself, citiesª greatª and fenced upª ° to heaven,ª ... A peopleª greatª and tall,ª ° the childrenª of the Anakims,ª whom¹ thou¹ knowest,ª ° and [of whom] thou¹ hast heardª ° [say], Who¹ can standª ° beforeª the childrenª of Anak!ª" {Deu 9:1-2} + "Neverthelessª ¹ the peopleª [be] strongª that dwellª ° in the land,ª and the citiesª [are] walled,ª ° [and] veryª great:ª and moreover¹ we sawª ° the childrenª of Anakª there.¹ ... And there¹ we sawª °¹ the giants,ª the sonsª of Anak,ª [which come] of¹ the giants:ª and we were¹ in our own sightª as grasshoppers,ª and so¹ we were¹ in their sight.ª" {Num 13:28-33}

walled:
That is, with very high walls, which could not be easily scaled. Harmer says, high walls are still to be seen in Arabia, and are deemed a sufficient defence against the Arabs, who scarcely ever attempt to plunder except on horseback. The monastery on Mount Sinai, and the convent of St. Anthony in Egypt, are surrounded with a very high wall, without gates; the persons and things being taken up and let down through an opening in the upper part, by means of a pulley and a basket. This kind of walling is a sufficient defence.

we have seen:
"A peopleª greatª and tall,ª ° the childrenª of the Anakims,ª whom¹ thou¹ knowest,ª ° and [of whom] thou¹ hast heardª ° [say], Who¹ can standª ° beforeª the childrenª of Anak!ª" {Deu 9:2} + "There was none¹ of the Anakimsª leftª ° in the landª of the childrenª of Israel:ª only¹ in Gaza,ª in Gath,ª and in Ashdod,ª there remained.ª °" {Jsh 11:22} + "And Calebª droveª ° thence¹ ¹ ¹ the threeª sonsª of Anak,ª ¹ Sheshai,ª and Ahiman,ª and Talmai,ª the childrenª of Anak.ª" {Jsh 15:14} + "And Judahª went² °¹ against¹ the Canaanitesª that dweltª ° in Hebron:ª (now the nameª of Hebronª beforeª [was] Kirjatharba:)ª and they slewª °¹ Sheshai,ª and Ahiman,ª and Talmai.ª" {Jdg 1:10} + "And they gaveª °¹ Hebronª unto Caleb,ª as¹ Mosesª said:ª ° and he expelledª ° thence¹ ¹ ¹ the threeª sonsª of Anak.ª" {Jdg 1:20} + "And Ishbibenob,ª which¹ [was] of the sonsª of the giant,² ¹ the weightª of whose spearª [weighed] threeª hundredª [shekels] of brassª in weight,ª he¹ being girdedª ° with a newª [sword], thoughtª ° to have slainª °¹ David.ª ... These¹ ¹ fourª were bornª ° to the giant² ¹ in Gath,ª and fellª ° by the handª of David,ª and by the handª of his servants.ª" {2Sm 21:16-22}
