Judges 3:1-4
11Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to test Israel by them (that is, all who had not 2experienced any of the wars of Canaan;
2only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might 3be taught war, 4those who had not 5experienced it formerly).
3These nations are: the five lords of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians and 6the Hivites who lived in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as 7Lebo-hamath.
4They were for 89testing Israel, to find out if they would 10obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers 11through Moses.
