YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

Where else “yisrael” appears- cameבָּאba
come
To come, arrive: "days are coming".

Translation note
“Not a word fell” means that no promise was left unfulfilled; “everything came,” that everything was fulfilled (see 23:14).
The context
44And YHWH gave rest to them all around, according to all that he had sworn to their fathers; and not a man of all their enemies stood before them; all their enemies YHWH gave into their hand.
