Judges 3:2
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:

--------------------

Judges 3:1
Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

Exodus 23:29
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

-----

Judges 2:20
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,

Judges 2:21
I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;

Judges 2:22
that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”

Judges 2:23
So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.

-----

Judges 2:7
The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.
