Judges 1:22-36
22Likewise the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 wentH5927 up against BethelH1008, and the LordH3068 was with them. 23The houseH1004 of JosephH3130 spiedH8446 out BethelH1008 (1now the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was formerlyH6440 LuzH3870). 24The spiesH8104 sawH7200 a manH376 comingH3318 out of the cityH5892 and they saidH559 to him, “PleaseH4994 showH7200 us the entranceH3996 to the cityH5892 and 2we will treatH6213 you kindlyH2617.” 25So he showedH7200 them the entranceH3996 to the cityH5892, and they struckH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, 3but they letH7971 the manH376 and allH3605 his familyH4940 goH7971 freeH7971. 26The manH376 wentH1980 into the landH776 of the HittitesH2850 and builtH1129 a cityH5892 and namedH7121H8034 it LuzH3870 4whichH1931 is its nameH8034 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
275But ManassehH4519 did not takeH3423 possessionH3423 of Beth-sheanH1052 and its villagesH1323, or TaanachH8590 and its villagesH1323, or the inhabitantsH3427 of DorH1756 and its villagesH1323, or the inhabitantsH3427 of IbleamH2991 and its villagesH1323, or the inhabitantsH3427 of MegiddoH4023 and its villagesH1323; so 6the CanaanitesH3669 persistedH2974 in livingH3427 in that landH776. 28It cameH1961 about whenH3588 IsraelH3478 becameH2388 strongH2388, that they putH7760 the CanaanitesH3669 to forcedH4522 laborH4522, but they did not driveH3423 them out completelyH3423.
297EphraimH669 did not driveH3423 out the CanaanitesH3669 who were livingH3427 in GezerH1507; so the CanaanitesH3669 livedH3427 in GezerH1507 amongH7130 them.
30ZebulunH2074 did not driveH3423 out the inhabitantsH3427 of KitronH7003, or the inhabitantsH3427 of 8NahalolH5096; so the CanaanitesH3669 livedH3427 amongH7130 them and becameH1961 subject to forcedH4522 laborH4522.
31AsherH836 did not driveH3423 out the inhabitantsH3427 of AccoH5910, or the inhabitantsH3427 of SidonH6721, or of AhlabH303, or of AchzibH392, or of HelbahH2462, or of AphikH663, or of RehobH7340. 32So the AsheritesH843 livedH3427 amongH7130 the CanaanitesH3669, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776; for they did not driveH3423 them out.
33NaphtaliH5321 did not driveH3423 out the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-shemeshH1053, or the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-anathH1043, but livedH3427 amongH7130 the CanaanitesH3669, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776; and the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-shemeshH1053 and Beth-anathH1043 becameH1961 forcedH4522 laborH4522 for them.
34Then the AmoritesH567 9forcedH3905 the sonsH1121 of DanH1835 into the hillH2022 countryH2022, for they did not allowH5414 them to comeH3381 downH3381 to the valleyH6010; 35yet the AmoritesH567 persistedH2974 in 10livingH3427 in MountH2022 HeresH2776, in AijalonH357 and in ShaalbimH8169; but when the 11powerH3027 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 12grewH3513 strongH3513, they becameH1961 forcedH4522 laborH4522. 36The borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567 ran from the 13ascentH4610 of AkrabbimH4610, from SelaH5554 and upwardH4605.
