Judges 1:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Then he went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city there. He called it Luz. That’s still its name to this day.

²⁷ But the tribe of Manasseh didn’t drive out the people of Beth Shan. They didn’t drive out the people of Taanach, Dor, Ibleam and Megiddo. And they didn’t drive out the people of the settlements that are around those cities either. That’s because the Canaanites had made up their minds to continue living in that land. ²⁸ Later, Israel became stronger. Then they forced the Canaanites to work hard for them. But Israel never drove them out completely.
