They were children of the people who had lived in the land before the Israelites came. Those people had been set apart to the Lord in a special way to be destroyed. But the Israelites hadn’t been able to kill all of them. Solomon forced them to work very hard as his slaves. And they still work for Israel as slaves to this day.

their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction— these Solomon drafted to be slaves, and so they are to this day.

their descendants who remained in the land after them, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely— Solomon imposed forced labor on them; it is still this way today.

But the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites, who lived in the city of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live there among the people of Judah to this day.

So the Lord burned with anger against Israel. He said,“ Because these people have violated my covenant, which I made with their ancestors, and have ignored my commands,I will no longer drive out the nations that Joshua left unconquered when he died.I did this to test Israel— to see whether or not they would follow the ways of the Lord as their ancestors did.”That is why the Lord left those nations in place. He did not quickly drive them out or allow Joshua to conquer them all.These are the nations that the Lord left in the land to test those Israelites who had not experienced the wars of Canaan.He did this to teach warfare to generations of Israelites who had no experience in battle.These are the nations: the Philistines( those living under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal hermon to Lebo hamath.These people were left to test the Israelites— to see whether they would obey the commands the Lord had given to their ancestors through Moses.

The descendants of Joseph responded,“ It’s true that the hill country is not large enough for us. But all the Canaanites in the lowlands have iron chariots, both those in Beth shan and its surrounding settlements and those in the valley of Jezreel. They are too strong for us.”Then Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph,“ Since you are so large and strong, you will be given more than one portion.The forests of the hill country will be yours as well. Clear as much of the land as you wish, and take possession of its farthest corners. And you will drive out the Canaanites from the valleys, too, even though they are strong and have iron chariots.”

The tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the people living in Beth shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and all their surrounding settlements, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region.When the Israelites grew stronger, they forced the Canaanites to work as slaves, but they never did drive them completely out of the land.The tribe of Ephraim failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live there among them.The tribe of Zebulun failed to drive out the residents of Kitron and Nahalol, so the Canaanites continued to live among them. But the Canaanites were forced to work as slaves for the people of Zebulun.The tribe of Asher failed to drive out the residents of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.Instead, the people of Asher moved in among the Canaanites, who controlled the land, for they failed to drive them out.Likewise, the tribe of Naphtali failed to drive out the residents of Beth shemesh and Beth anath. Instead, they moved in among the Canaanites, who controlled the land.
