Context of Judges 1:30

28And it came to pass when Israel became strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them. 29And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer. Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries. 31Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor Ahlab, nor Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor Rehob; 32and the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not dispossess them.
