'Drive Them Out' in the Bible

It came about when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

So the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
