"I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
I also henceforth will not drive out and from before them,.... At least not as yet, not very soon nor hastily, as in Jdg 2:23 , of the nations which
Joshua left when he died; that is, unsubdued; which was owing either to the infirmities of old age coming upon him, which made him incapable of engaging further in war with the Canaanites; or to the sloth and indolence of the people, being weary of war, and not caring to prosecute it; or to want of men to cultivate any more land, and people other cities, than what they were possessed of; and chiefly this was owing to the providence of God, who had an end to answer hereby, as follows.
