Judges 1:27–36

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.

³⁰Nor did ^kZebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and ⁸were put under tribute.

^31lNor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob. ³²So the Asherites ^mdwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

³³ⁿNor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

³⁴And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; ³⁵and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, ^oin Aijalon, and in ⁹Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they ¹were put under tribute.

³⁶Now the boundary of the Amorites was ^pfrom the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
