1 It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king
of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,
2 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah
south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the
Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite
under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
21 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from
Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from
all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

Jsh 13:2-6
2 This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and
all the Geshurites;
3 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward,
which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites,
and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the
Avvim,
4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to
the
Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal
Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;
6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even
all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel:
only you it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

15 Joshua said to them, “If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and
clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim;
since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
16 The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All
the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both
those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of
Jezreel.”
18 but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut
it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the
Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
Jsh 24:11,15,18

against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the
Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
15 If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve;
whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the
gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we
will serve Yahweh.”
18 Yahweh drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived
in the land. Therefore we also will serve Yahweh; for he is our God.”
Jdg 1:1,3-5,9,10,17
1 It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh,
saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against
them?
3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may
fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot. So
Simeon went with him.
4 Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into
their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck
the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
9 Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who
lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.

before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called
Hormah.

1 The sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
13 Canaan became the father of Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

16 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.

of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from
the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of
the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the
Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the
Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed your
words; for you are righteous.
24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them
the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands,
with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as
they would.
Am 2:9,10
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars,
and he was strong as the oaks;
yet I destroyed his fruit from above,
and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.
