Judges 2:21-23
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
21 I from now on will also not drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,
22 That through them I may prove Israel, 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, without driving them out at once, nor had He delivered them into Joshua’s power.

Judges 2:21-23
New International Version
21 I will no longer drive out(A) before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22 I will use them to test(B) Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.” 23 The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.(C)
