Judges 1:19-36 - Israel Fails To Conquer The Land
19 And the LORD was with Judah that he conquered the mountains, but they could not drive out the inhabiters of the valleys, because they had chariots of iron.
20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb as Moses said. And he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not cast out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
22 And in like manner the house of Joseph went up to Bethel and the LORD with them, 23 and the house of Joseph searched out Bethel which before time was called Luz. 24 And the spies saw a man come out of the city and they said unto him, "Show us the way into the city, and we will show thee mercy." 25 And he showed them the way into the city, and they smote it with the edge of the sword, but let the man and all his household go free. 26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day.
27 Neither did Manasseh expel Bethshean with her towns, neither Taanach with her towns, neither the inhabiters of Dor with her towns, neither the inhabiters of Ibleam with her towns, neither the inhabiters of Megiddo with her towns, and so the Cananites went to and dwelt in the said land. 28 But as soon as Israel was waxed mighty, they put the Cananites to tribute: but expelled them not.
29 In like manner Ephraim expelled not the Cananites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Cananites dwelt still in Gezer among them.
30 Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabiters of Kitron, neither the inhabiters of Nahalol; but the Cananites dwelt among them and became tributaries.
31 Neither did Asher cast out the inhabiters of Acco, neither the inhabiters of Sidon, of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, nor of Rehob, 32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Cananites the inhabiters of the land, and drave them not out.
33 Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabiters of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabiters of Bethanath, but dwelt amongst the Cananites the inhabiters of the land. Nevertheless the inhabiters of Bethshemesh, and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.
34 And the Amorites kept the children of Dan in the mountains, and suffered them not the come down to the valleys. 35 And so the Amorites went and dwelled in mount Heres in Aijalon and in Shaalbim. Neverthelater, the hand of Joseph waxed heavy upon them, so that they became tributaries. 36 And the coasts of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, and from the rock upward.
