The other reason God allowed some of the people to remain was to teach and to test the Israelites (Judges 3:1)...
---
And apparently they failed the test:
After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel. They abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt.
Quoting: b4its2l8 The Israelites were faithful to God only as long as Joshua and the leaders lived. Judges 1 tells of many battles that were fought by the tribes of Israel after Joshua’s death. But the Israelites did not kill the enemy, or even drive them out of the land. One tribe after another made slaves out of the people. In Judges 3, we read: So the people of Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites... Quoting: b4its2l8 Worse yet: Judges 3:6 they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord... Quoting: b4its2l8 Here's a repost, just to show what kind of people the Israelites were actually marrying: The canaanites were a pretty abominable people: Canaanites worshipped, by immoral indulgence, as a religious rite, in the presence of their gods; and then, by murdering their first-born children, as a sacrifice to these same gods. It seems that, in large measure, the land of Canaan had become a sort of Sodom and Gomorrah on a national scale. . . . Archaeologists who dig in the ruins of Canaanite cities wonder that God did not destroy them sooner than he did.... Quoting: b4its2l8 Judges 3:7 The Israelis forgot God - worshiping baal and the groves...
