Judges 1:21-36
New King James Version
21 (A)But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 And the [a]house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, (B)and the Lord was with them. 23 So the [b]house of Joseph (C)sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly (D)Luz.) 24 And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and (E)we will show you mercy.” 25 So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. 26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Incomplete Conquest of the Land
27 (F)However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or (G)Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of (H)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 [c]under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.
29 (I)Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Nor did (J)Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and [d]were put under tribute.
31 (K)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 (L)dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
33 (M)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, (N)in Aijalon, and in [e]Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they [f]were put under tribute.
36 Now the boundary of the Amorites was (O)from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

New International Version
21 The Benjamites, however, did not drive out(A) the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem;(B) to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.
22 Now the tribes of Joseph(C) attacked Bethel,(D) and the Lord was with them. 23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),(E) 24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.(F)” 25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared(G) the man and his whole family. 26 He then went to the land of the Hittites,(H) where he built a city and called it Luz,(I) which is its name to this day.
27 But Manasseh did not(J) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(K) or Ibleam(L) or Megiddo(M) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(N) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(O) 29 Nor did Ephraim(P) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,(Q) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.(R) 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. 31 Nor did Asher(S) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon(T) or Ahlab or Akzib(U) or Helbah or Aphek(V) or Rehob.(W) 32 The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh(X) or Beth Anath(Y); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 34 The Amorites(Z) confined the Danites(AA) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.(AB) 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,(AC) Aijalon(AD) and Shaalbim,(AE) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass(AF) to Sela(AG) and beyond.(AH)
