Judges 1:28–35

²⁸Later, Israel became stronger. Then they forced the people of Canaan to work hard for them. But Israel never drove them out completely.

²⁹The tribe of Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer. So they continued to live there among them.

³⁰The tribe of Zebulun didn’t drive out the Canaanites who were living in Kitron and Nahalol. So they remained among them. But Zebulun forced the Canaanites to work hard for them.

³¹The tribe of Asher didn’t drive out the people who were living in Acco and Sidon. They didn’t drive out the people of Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob. ³²So the people of Asher lived among the Canaanites who were in the land.

³³The tribe of Naphtali didn’t drive out the people who were living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath. So the people of Naphtali lived among the Canaanites who were in the land. The people of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced to work hard for them.

³⁴The Amorites made the people of Dan stay in the central hill country. They didn’t let them come down into the flatlands. ³⁵The Amorites made up their minds to stay in Mount Heres. They also stayed in Aijalon and Shaalbim.

But the power of the tribes of Joseph grew. Then the Amorites were forced to work hard for them.
