3 namely, ^afive lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.

4 And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to¹ know whether they would obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 ^aThus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

6 And ^athey took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods.
