Judges 1:21–29

21 But the descendantsz of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusitesa who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived among the descendantsb 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,c they said to him, “Please show us the entrance of the city, and we will deal kindlyd with you.” 25 So he showed them the entrance of the city, and they struck the city with ⌊the edge of the sword⌋,e 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 inhabitantsf of Dor and its towns, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; the Canaanitesg were determined to live in this land. 28 And it happened, when Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanitesh to forced labor, but they never totally drove them out. 29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanitesi living in Gezer, so the Canaanitesj lived in their midst in Gezer.
