Judges 2:21-23

21 aI also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died, 22in order to btest Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk in it as their fathers
Lit kept
did, or not.”
23So the Lord allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
