Judges 1:22-29

22The men of Joseph's tribes attacked Bethel. The Lord helped them to do this.

23Bethel had been called Luz. They sent some men to look secretly at the city.

24Those men saw a man who was leaving the city. They said to him, ‘If you show us how our soldiers can get into the city, we will keep you safe.’

25So the man showed them a secret entrance to the city. The men of Joseph's tribes killed all the people in the city. But they kept the man and his family safe.

26He went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city there. He called it Luz, and that is still its name.

27But the men of Manasseh's tribe could not chase out the people of these five cities: Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam and Megiddo. The Canaanites who lived there were strong. So they continued to live in those cities and the regions around them.

28When the Israelites had a strong army, they made the Canaanites do hard work for them. But they could never chase the Canaanites away completely.

29The men of Ephraim's tribe could not chase out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. Those Canaanites continued to live among the people of Ephraim in Gezer.
