Judges 1:24-27

24They confronted a man coming out of the town and said to him, “Show us a way into the town, and we will have mercy on you.”

25So he showed them a way in, and they killed everyone in the town except that man and his family.

26Later the man moved to the land of the Hittites, where he built a town. He named it Luz, which is its name to this day.

27The tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the people living in Beth-shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and all their surrounding settlements, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region.
