Judges 1:26-36 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

26. So the man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and named it Luz, which is its name to this day.

27. Manasseh, however, did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages. So the Canaanites resolved to dwell in that land.

28. When Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out.

29. Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer, so the Canaanites settled in Gezer among them.

30. Nor did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol, so the Canaanites settled among them, but became subject to forced labor.

31. Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Zidon, Achlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik or Rehob;

32. so the Asherites lived among the Canaanites who were dwelling in the land, because they did not drive them out.

33. Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites dwelling in the land, though the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.

34. But the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not let them come down to the valley.

35. Also the Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim, but when the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, they became forced labor for them.

36. So the territory of the Amorites ran from the Ascent of Akrabbim from the Rock and upward.
