But the Israelites hadn’t been able to kill all of them. Solomon forced them to work very hard as his slaves. And they still work for Israel as slaves to this day.

So the Lord became very angry with the Israelites. He said,“ This nation has broken my covenant. I made it with their people of long ago. But this nation has not listened to me.Joshua left some nations in the land when he died. I will no longer drive out those nations to make room for Israel.I will use those nations to test Israel. I will see whether Israel will live the way I, the Lord, want them to. I will see whether they will be like their people of long ago. I will see whether they will follow my path.”The Lord had let those nations remain in the land. He didn’t drive them out right away. He didn’t hand them over to Joshua.The Lord left some nations in the land. He left them to test the Israelites who hadn’t lived through any of the wars in Canaan.He wanted to teach the men in Israel who had never been in battle before. He wanted them to learn how to fight.So he left the five rulers of the Philistines. He left the people of Canaan and the people of Sidon. He left the Hivites living in the Lebanon mountains. They lived in the area between Mount Baal Hermon and Lebo Hamath.The Lord left those nations where they were to test the Israelites. He wanted to see whether they would obey his commands. He had given those commands through Moses to their people of long ago.

The people in Joseph’s family line replied,“ The hill country isn’t big enough for us. And all the Canaanites who live in the plains use chariots that have iron parts. They include the people of Beth Shan and its settlements. They also include the people who live in the Valley of Jezreel.”Joshua spoke again to the people in Joseph’s family line. He said to the people of Ephraim and Manasseh,“ There are large numbers of you. And you are very powerful. You will have more than one piece of land.You will also have the central hill country. It’s covered with trees. Cut them down and clear the land. That whole land from one end to the other will belong to you. The Canaanites use chariots that have iron parts. And those people are strong. But you can drive them out.”

They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan as the Lord had commanded them.Instead, they mixed with those nations and adopted their ways.They worshiped statues of their gods. That became a trap for them.

King Solomon forced people to work hard for him. Here is a record of what they did. They built the Lord’ s temple and Solomon’s palace. They filled in the low places. They rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem. They built up Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer.

But the tribe of Manasseh didn’t drive out the people of Beth Shan. They didn’t drive out the people of Taanach, Dor, Ibleam and Megiddo. And they didn’t drive out the people of the settlements that are around those cities either.

But Israel never drove them out completely.The tribe of Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer.
