Joshua 17:16-18
English Standard Version
16 The people of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. Yet all the Canaanites who dwell in the plain have (A)chariots of iron, both those in Beth-shean and its villages and those in (B)the Valley of Jezreel.” 17 Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a numerous people and have great power. You shall not have one allotment only, 18 but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders. For you shall drive out the Canaanites, (C)though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
