Judges 2:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ “I will, therefore, no longer cast out any of the nations before them which Joshua left when he died,

²² “so that through them I may test Israel, to see whether they will keep the way of the LORD, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.”

²³ So, the LORD left those nations, and did not immediately drive them out or deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
