Judges 1:23-27 English Revised Version (ERV)

23. And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)

24. And the watchers 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 deal kindly with thee.

25. And he shewed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.

26. And the man went 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. And Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor of 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.
