Judges 2:21-23

21 ^aI will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died, 22 in order ^bto test Israel by them, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the Lord as their fathers did, or not.” 23 So the Lord left those nations, not driving them out quickly, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
