Judges 2:21-23

Darby Translation

²¹ I also will not henceforth dispossess from before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died;

²² that through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep [it], or not.

²³ Therefore Jehovah left those nations, without dispossessing them hastily, neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
