Canaanites » Not expelled
Now these are the nations that Jehovah left to test the Israelites who had not known all the wars of Canaan. He did this to teach warfare to the generations of the children of Israel who had not had previous battle experience. Those left in the land were the five Philistine cities, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the Lebanon Mountains from Mount Baal Hermon as far as Hamath Pass.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. When the children of Israel were very strong they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor. They did not completely drive them out. The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying: Why have you given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as Jehovah has blessed us abundantly. read more.
Joshua answered: If you are a great people, then get to the wood country, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for you. The children of Joseph said: The hill is not enough for us. All the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying: You are a great people. You have great power. You will not have only one lot. The mountain will be yours. For it is a wood, and you will cut it down. The farthest limits will be yours. You will drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they are strong.

For it is a wood, and you will cut it down. The farthest limits will be yours. You will drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they are strong.
After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked Jehovah (YHWH), saying: Who will go first to fight against the Canaanites for us? Jehovah said: Judah will go up. I have delivered the land into his hand. Judah said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me to my allotted territory that we may fight against the Canaanites. I likewise will go with you to your territory. So Simeon went with him. read more.
Judah went up and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They killed ten thousand men at Bezek. They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him. They killed the Canaanites and the Perizzites. Adoni-bezek fled and they chased him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes. And Adoni-bezek said: Seventy kings with their big toes cut off have gathered food scrapes under my table. God has repaid me for what I have done. So they brought him to Jerusalem where he died. The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put it to the sword and set the city on fire. Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that lived in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. Judah went against the Canaanites that lived in Hebron (previously called Kirjath-arba) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. From there they advanced against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher: Caleb said: He that attacks Kirjath-sepher, and captures it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife. Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife. When she came to him she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey Caleb said to her: What do you wish? She said: Give me a blessing: for you have given me a land south with spring water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. The children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah to the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the south of Arad to live with the people. And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they attacked the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was Hormah. Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory as well as Ekron with its territory. Jehovah was with Judah. He drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had promised and he expelled the three sons of Anak. The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem. The Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel: and Jehovah was with them. The house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. The spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him: Show us the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy. When he showed them the entrance into the city, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But spared the man and all his family. The man went into the land of the Hittites and built a city. He called it Luz, which is its name this day. Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites wanted to live in that land. When Israel was strong they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor. They did not completely drive them out. Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that lived in Gezer. But the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer. Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became forced laborers. Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob: But the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out. Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became forced laborers to them.
Judah went up and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They killed ten thousand men at Bezek. They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him. They killed the Canaanites and the Perizzites. Adoni-bezek fled and they chased him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.

From there they advanced against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher: Caleb said: He that attacks Kirjath-sepher, and captures it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife. Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife. When she came to him she persuaded him to ask her father for a field.

Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their entire clan did not become as numerous as the people of Judah.

They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet. Some Hamites had lived there formerly. The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites who were there and completely destroyed them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks. And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir. They killed the remaining Amalekites who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
