Judges 2:21-23

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left^(A) when he died.^{(B) 22} I did this to test Israel and to see whether or not they would keep the Lord’s way^(C) by walking in it, as their ancestors had.”^{(D) 23} The Lord left these nations and did not drive them out immediately. He did not hand them over to Joshua.
