Context
3:1 These were the nations the Lord permitted to remain so he could use them to test Israel – he wanted to test all those who had not experienced battle against the Canaanites .
3:2 He left those nations simply because he wanted to teach the subsequent generations of Israelites , who had not experienced the earlier battles, how to conduct holy war .
3:3 These were the nations: the five lords of the Philistines , all the Canaanites , the Sidonians , and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon , from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo-Hamath .
3:4 They were left to test Israel , so the Lord would know if his people would obey the commands he gave their ancestors through Moses .
3:5 The Israelites lived among the Canaanites , Hittites , Amorites , Perizzites , Hivites , and Jebusites .
