Judges 1:21–29

^21bBut the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

²²And the ⁵house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, ^cand the Lord was with them. ²³So the ⁶house of Joseph ^dsent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly ^eLuz.) ²⁴And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and ^fwe will show you mercy.” ²⁵So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. ²⁶And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

Incomplete Conquest of the Land

^27gHowever, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or ^hTaanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of ⁱDor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land. ²⁸And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites ⁷under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

^29jNor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
