Judges 3:2 ASV

¹  Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, even as many 'of Israel' as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

²  only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof:

³  'namely', the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.

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