Why did God command the Israelites to destroy other nations?

Answered in 1 source

God commanded the destruction of other nations due to their wickedness and as a fulfillment of His promise to Israel.

The command to destroy the nations inhabiting the Promised Land is a reflection of God's justice against wickedness. As Deuteronomy 9:4-5 states, it was not because of Israel's righteousness but the evil of those nations that necessitated their removal. This act demonstrates God’s sovereignty and holiness, as He used Israel to bring judgment upon these nations while simultaneously fulfilling His promises to Abraham. It highlights the serious nature of sin and God's righteous judgment.
