Judges 2:21-23

LITV(i) 21 I also from now on will not expel any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died; 22 so that by them I may test Israel, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept it, or not. 23 And Jehovah left those nations without expelling them quickly. And He did not deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
