Judges 1:28-35

28It came about when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

291Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer; so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

30Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of 2Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and became subject to forced labor.

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

33Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.

34Then the Amorites 3forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the valley; 35yet the Amorites persisted in 4living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; but when the 5power of the house of Joseph 6grew strong, they became forced labor.
