Contrary to God's promises Exodus 33v2 to them Why did the Israelites could not drive out the Canaanites see Jos 15v63?
Sometimes there are problems of understanding when Bible verses are not taken in their proper context.
In this case Exodus 33:2 mentions God's part in the conquest. In a number of other nearby verses it is clear that the fulfilment of God's promise is conditional upon obedience. The Israelites most certainly did not keep their part of the bargain and so, as God promised, they were thus not able to drive out the inhabitants of the land.
In relation to the specific mention of Jerusalem in Joshua 15:63:
63As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.The 'unto this day' obviously refers to the time of writing of the book of Joshua. For the later history of Israel records that King David did in fact drive out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. Interestingly, in this regard, the conduit through which Joab climbed to enter the city secretly was assumed by the Jebusites to be unclimbable. This conduit has recently been discovered by archaeologists.

Did God give the people of Canaan a chance of changing their ways?
A:There is no suggestion in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Joshua, that the Canaanites were in need of changing thier ways. The Bible describes them as helpful to the Patriarchs before the Egyptian sojourn, and attributes no great evil to the Canaanites as a nation. The story simply says that the Israelites wanted their land, believed that it had been promised to them by their God, and so went in and took it. The Book of Joshua actually portrays the Canaanites as the innocent victims and the Israelites as the genocidal invaders! In defence of the Israelites, it is worth mentioning that most scholars now believe there was no Exodus from Egypt or military invasion of Canaan. They say that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves and that they migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland. Long after they had forgotten their origins, the Hebrew people developed the legend of a glorious past and of great military victories.
