Judges 3:1-6

¹And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;

²only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:

³five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

⁴And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

⁵And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;

⁶and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
