Judges 1:27-36

New King James Version

Incomplete Conquest of the Land

^27 (A)However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or ^(B)Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of ^(C)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 ^[a]under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

^29 (D)Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

³⁰ Nor did ^(E)Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and ^[b]were put under tribute.

^31 (F)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 ^(G)dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

^33 (H)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, ^(I)in Aijalon, and in ^[c]Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they ^[d]were put under tribute.

³⁶ Now the boundary of the Amorites was ^(J)from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
