Judges 1:22-29
22When the men of Joseph attacked Bethel, the Lord was with them.
23When the men of Joseph spied out Bethel (it used to be called Luz),
24the spies spotted a man leaving the city. They said to him, “If you show us a secret entrance into the city, we will reward you.”
25He showed them a secret entrance into the city, and they put the city to the sword. But they let the man and his extended family leave safely.
26He moved to Hittite country and built a city. He named it Luz, and it has kept that name to this very day.
27The men of Manasseh did not conquer Beth Shan, Taanach, or their surrounding towns. Nor did they conquer the people living in Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo or their surrounding towns. The Canaanites managed to remain in those areas.
28Whenever Israel was strong militarily, they forced the Canaanites to do hard labor, but they never totally conquered them.
29The men of Ephraim did not conquer the Canaanites living in Gezer. The Canaanites lived among them in Gezer.
