Judges 3:1-6

¹These be the folks which the Lord left alive, that in them he should teach Israel, and all men that knew not the battles of Canaanites;

²and that afterward the sons of them should learn to fight with enemies, and to have custom of battle.

³He left five princes of the Philistines, and all Canaanites, and the people of Sidon, and Hivites that dwelled in the hill Lebanon, from the hill Baalhermon till to the entering of Hamath.

⁴And he left them, that in them he should assay Israel, whether they would hear the behests of the Lord, which he commanded to their fathers by the hand of Moses, either nay.

⁵And so the sons of Israel dwelled in the midst of Canaanites, of Hittites, and of Amorites, and of Perizzites, and of Hivites, and of Jebusites,

⁶and they wedded wives, the daughters of them; and the sons of Israel gave their daughters to their sons, and they served to their gods.
