All the same, the Bible has much to say against alliances with pagan nations. Christians are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers in marriage or religious activities (2 Cor. 6:14), and this same principle applies to nations. Israel was obviously not to make any alliances with the Canaanites, since she was to destroy them utterly. By implication, no alliances were to be made with any pagan nations.
