Judges 1:19-36 - Israel Fails To Conquer The Land
19 And Jehovah was with Judah. And he took possession of the mountain. But he could not drive out those who lived in the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said. And he expelled the three sons of Anak from there.
21 And the sons of Benjamin did not expel the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem. But the Jebusites live with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and Jehovah was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. And the name of the city before was Luz. 24 And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, Please show us the gate into the city, and we will show you mercy. 25 And when he showed them the gate into the city, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But they let the man and all his family go. 26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites and built a city, and called the name of it Luz, which is the name of it to this day.
27 And Manasseh had not taken possession of Beth-shean and its daughter-villages, nor Taanach and its daughter-villages, nor struck the inhabitants of Dor and its daughter-villages, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its daughter-villages, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its daughter-villages. For the Canaanites were determined to live in that land. 28 And it happened, when Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not completely expel them.
29 And Ephraim did not expel the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
30 And Zebulun did not expel those who lived in Kitron, nor those who lived in Nahalol. But the Canaanites lived among them and became tributaries.
31 And Asher did not expel those who lived in Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob. 32 But the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, those who lived in the land, for they did not expel them.
33 And Naphtali did not expel those who lived in Beth-shemesh, and the inhabitants of Beth-anath, and they lived among the Canaanites, those who lived in the land. But those who lived in Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
34 And the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the mountain. For they would not allow them to come down to the valley. 35 But the Amorites desired to stay in Mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim. Yet the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy so that they became tributaries. 36 And the border of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
