Judges 2:21-23

21st Century King James Version

²¹ I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died,

²² that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.”

²³ Therefore the Lord left those nations without driving them out hastily, neither delivered He them into the hand of Joshua.
