The Canaanites came upon the land of Israel and co-habitated with the Israelites in a normal manor.They did have some fierce fighting from time to time,but no killings ever occurred.
The Canaanites stayed until the Israelites realized that they were losing their religion know to them as the God of Exodus,to the Canaanites god of fertility Ba'al.They had been specificily warned about Not worshipping this false god of fertility Ba'al,By their own God of Exodus.The original message given to the Israelites seemed to imply that the Canaanites should be killed to avoid this problem.Later they realized what they should have done.They eventually decided to,and were able to rid themselves of the Canaanites and their gods.....

For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.
