Places Not Conquered
27 (A)But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so (B)the Canaanites persisted in living in this land.

Judges 2:21-3:6
New American Standard Bible
21 (A)I in turn will no longer drive out from them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died, 22 in order to (B)test Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk in it as their fathers [a]did, or not.” 23 So the Lord allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not hand them over to Joshua.
Idolatry Leads to Servitude
3 (C)Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to test Israel by them (that is, all the Israelites who had not [b]experienced any of the wars of Canaan; 2 only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might [c]be taught war, [d]those who had not [e]experienced it previously). 3 These nations are: the five governors of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians, and (D)the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as [f]Lebo-hamath. 4 They were left to (E)test Israel by them, to find out if they would [g]obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers [h]through Moses. 5 (F)The sons of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; 6 and (G)they took their daughters for themselves as wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

New International Version
21 I will no longer drive out(A) before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22 I will use them to test(B) Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.” 23 The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.(C)
3 These are the nations the Lord left to test(D) all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2 (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience): 3 the five(E) rulers of the Philistines,(F) all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites(G) living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon(H) to Lebo Hamath.(I) 4 They were left to test(J) the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.
5 The Israelites lived(K) among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,(L) Hivites and Jebusites.(M) 6 They took their daughters(N) in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.(O)
