Judges 1:19-35

Judges 1:19-35

[19] And the LORD  was with Judah;  and he drave out  the inhabitants of the mountain;  but could not  drive out  the inhabitants  of the valley,  because they had chariots  of iron.  [20] And they gave  Hebron  unto Caleb,  as Moses  said:  and he expelled  thence the three  sons  of Anak.  [21] And the children  of Benjamin  did not drive out  the Jebusites  that inhabited  Jerusalem;  but the Jebusites  dwell  with the children  of Benjamin  in Jerusalem  unto this day.  [22] And the house  of Joseph,  they also went up  against Bethel:  and the LORD  was with them. [23] And the house  of Joseph  sent to descry  Bethel.  (Now the name  of the city  before  was Luz.)  [24] And the spies  saw  a man  come forth  out of the city,  and they said  unto him, Shew  us, we pray thee, the entrance  into the city,  and we will shew  thee mercy.  [25] And when he shewed  them the entrance  into the city,  they smote  the city  with the edge  of the sword;  but they let go  the man  and all his family.  [26] And the man  into the land  of the Hittites,  and built  a city,  and called  the name  thereof Luz:  which is the name  thereof unto this day.  [27] Neither did Manasseh  drive out  the inhabitants of Bethshean  and her towns,  nor Taanach  and her towns,  nor the inhabitants  of Dor  and her towns,  nor the inhabitants  of Ibleam  and her towns,  nor the inhabitants  of Megiddo  and her towns:  but the Canaanites  would  dwell  in that land.  [28] And it came to pass, when Israel  was strong,  that they put  the Canaanites  to tribute,  and did not utterly  [29] Neither did Ephraim  drive out  the Canaanites  that dwelt  in Gezer;  but the Canaanites  dwelt  in Gezer  among  them. [30] Neither did Zebulun  drive out  the inhabitants  of Kitron,  nor the inhabitants  of Nahalol;  but the Canaanites  dwelt  among  them, and became tributaries.  [31] Neither did Asher  drive out  the inhabitants  of Accho,  nor the inhabitants  of Zidon,  nor of Ahlab,  nor of Achzib,  nor of Helbah,  nor of Aphik,  nor of Rehob:  [32] But the Asherites  dwelt  among  the Canaanites,  the inhabitants  of the land:  for they did not drive them out.  [33] Neither did Naphtali  drive out  the inhabitants  of Bethshemesh,  nor the inhabitants  of Bethanath;  but he dwelt  among  the Canaanites,  the inhabitants  of the land:  nevertheless the inhabitants  of Bethshemesh  and of Bethanath  became tributaries  unto them. [34] And the Amorites  forced  the children  of Dan  into the mountain:  for they would not suffer  them to come down  to the valley:  [35] But the Amorites  would  dwell  in mount  Heres  in Aijalon,  and in Shaalbim:  yet the hand  of the house  of Joseph  prevailed,  so that they became tributaries.
