According to Jewish tradition the conquest of Canaan was a very long process. The first blow at the Canaanites was when Joshua conquered vast parts of the land mainly around the Judian and Sumerian Mountains. this took about 14 years.

(Some scholars argue the historical credibility of the book of Joshua but see the related link to learn about a major altar discovered on Mount Ebal related to Joshua Chapter 8, 30-35).

After this first blow there was a long period in which the Israelites where not able to finish the conquering of the land. Only in the days of King David and his son Salomon some 400-500 years after the conquering had been completed.
