“I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:”
I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left undone, — God's consequential judgment explicitly reverses the promise that God would remove Canaanite inhabitants. The phrase 'any of the nations that Joshua left undone' acknowledges that Joshua himself had not completed the conquest, but now God would not remedy that incompleteness through continued divine military assistance.
