² he left them only that the generations of the sons of Israel might know, and to teach them war, only for those that had known nothing before:

³ namely, five cardinals of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians and the Hivites that dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
