16. The descendants of Hobab the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up with the descendants of Judah from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev near Arad. And they went and settled with the people.
17. And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they defeated the Canaanites inhabiting Zephath; they utterly destroyed it, so he called the name of the city Hormah.
18. Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.
19. And Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.
20. They gave Hebron to Caleb just as Moses said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak from there.
21. But the descendants of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived among the descendants of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22. Likewise, the house of Joseph went up against Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.
23. And the house of Joseph spied out Bethel (the former name of the city was Luz).
24. And when the spies saw a man leaving the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance of the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
25. So he showed them the entrance of the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let go the man and all his family.
26. And the man went to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city and named it Luz; this is its name to this day.
27. Manasseh did not drive out Beth-Sean and its towns, or Taanach and its towns, or the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; the Canaanites were determined to live in this land.
28. And it happened, when Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they never totally drove them out.
29. Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in their midst in Gezer.
30. Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived in their midst and became subjected to forced labor.
31. Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob,
