Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong,…. Increased in numbers, and became superior to the Canaanites, not only those of the tribe of Manasseh, but of the other tribes also:
that they put the Canaanites to tribute; they did not take away their lives, as they were commanded to do, but made them tributaries to them, which seems to arise from a covetous disposition, and done for the sake of gain:
but did not utterly drive them out; which they were ordered to do, and could now have done; for if they were able to make them pay tribute to them, they had power sufficient to drive them out, or destroy them, and therefore broke the commandment of God, De 7:1.

Ver. 13. They did not utterly. ] This was their covetousness; they kept them and squeezed them, as the Papists do at this day deal by the Jews that live amongst them.
