Radak: Yehudah conquered them, and afterwards the Pelishtim took them from them. "Heni'ach Hashem" (verse 1) includes places that Yisrael never conquered, and places that they conquered, and Hashem let the Nochrim take it back.

Malbim: Azah, Ashkelon and Ekron they conquered after Yehoshua died 1 and the others they did not conquer, and needed to fight them.

Perhaps Malbim means that Hashem left them in Yehoshua's lifetime, and they were a test for Yisrael until they conquered them. (PF)
