Judges 1:19-36 - Israel Fails To Conquer The Land
19 And Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they [had] chariots of iron.
20 They gave Hebron to Caleb just as Moses said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak from there.
21 But the descendants of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived among the descendants of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 Likewise, the house of Joseph went up [against] Bethel, and Yahweh [was] with them. 23 And the house of Joseph spied out Bethel (the former name of the city was Luz). 24 And when the spies saw a man leaving the city, they said to him, "Please show us the entrance of the city, and we will deal kindly with you." 25 So he showed them the entrance of the city, and they struck the city with {the edge of the sword}, but they let go the man and all his family. 26 And the man went [to] the land of the Hittites, and he built a city and named it Luz; this [is] its name to this day.
27 Manasseh did not drive out Beth-Sean and its towns, or Taanach and its towns, or the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; the Canaanites [were] determined to live in this land. 28 And it happened, when Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they never totally drove them out.
29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in their midst in Gezer.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived in their midst and became [subjected] to forced labor.
31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob, 32 so the Asherites lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or Beth-anath, but lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.
34 The Amorites pressed the descendants of Dan to the hill country, and they did not allow them to come down to the plain; 35 the Amorites [were] determined to live in Har-heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy [on them], and they became [subjected] to forced labor. 36 The border of the Amorites [ran] from the ascent of Akrabbim from Sela and upward.
