The third town in the list was also called Naphoth Dor.

12 But the people of Manasseh weren’t able to take over those towns. That’s because the people of Canaan had made up their minds to live in that area. 13 The people of Israel grew stronger. Then they forced the people of Canaan to work hard for them. But they didn’t drive them out completely.
