Joshua 17:11-13
New English Translation

11 Within Issachar’s and Asher’s territories Manasseh was assigned Beth Shean, Ibleam, the residents of Dor, the residents of Endor, the residents of Taanach, the residents of Megiddo, the three of Napheth,[a] and the towns surrounding all these cities.[b] 12 But the men[c] of Manasseh were unable to conquer these cities; the Canaanites managed[d] to remain in those areas. 13 Whenever the Israelites were strong militarily, they forced the Canaanites to do hard labor, but they never totally conquered them.[e]
