Failure to Complete the Conquest

Judges 1

27 g However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or h Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of i Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land. 28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites 1 under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

29 j Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30 Nor did k Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and 2 were put under tribute.

31 l Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob. 32 So the Asherites m dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

33 n Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; 35 and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, o in Aijalon, and in 3 Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they 4 were put under tribute. 36 Now the boundary of the Amorites was p from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
