Judges 1 is the audit of what Joshua left undone. Tribe by tribe, the record accumulates: did not drive out. Manasseh did not drive out. Ephraim did not drive out. Zebulun did not drive out. Asher did not drive out. Naphtali did not drive out. Dan could not drive out. The repeated phrase is the book's thesis statement: the incomplete obedience that Judges 1 documents is the root cause of the three hundred years of cycles that follow.

The parents who experienced the Jordan crossing and the Jericho walls did not pass the story forward in a way that produced genuine knowledge, yada, the relational experiential knowing, in their children.
Thread 4 is in the did not drive out: each tribe made genuine choices to accommodate rather than obey. The Canaanites were left in the land for forced labor, for economic advantage, for the path of least resistance. Thread 5 is the dispensational consequence: the conquest period has failed to reach its commanded completion, setting up the judge period as the consequence-administration.
