Judges:3:1-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now these are the nations which the LORD left ,
to test Israel by them ,
that is ,
all in Israel who had no experience of any war in Canaan ;
*
it was only that the generations of the people of Israel might know war ,
that he might teach war to such at least as had not known it before .
*
These are the nations :
the five lords of the Philistines ,
and all the Canaanites ,
and the Sido '
nians ,
and the Hivites who dwelt on Mount Lebanon ,
from Mount Ba '
al-her '
mon as far as the entrance of Hamath .
*
They were for the testing of Israel ,
to know whether Israel would obey the commandments of the LORD ,
which he commanded their fathers by Moses .
