'Drive Them Out' in the Bible

all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians.I will drive them out before the Israelites, only distribute the land as an inheritance for Israel, as I have commanded you.

Now give me this hill country the Lord promised me on that day, because you heard then that the Anakim are there, as well as large fortified cities. Perhaps the Lord will be with me and I will drive them out as the Lord promised.”

However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they imposed forced labor on the Canaanites but did not drive them out completely.

The Lord your God will force them back on your account and drive them out before you so that you can take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.
