Judges 3:1-3

1 1Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to test Israel by them (that is, all the Israelites 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 previously).

3These nations are: the five governors of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians, and 6the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as 7Lebo-hamath.
