Judges 1:26-28
New English Translation
26 He[a] moved to Hittite country and built a city. He named it Luz, and it has kept that name to this very day.
27 The men of Manasseh did not conquer Beth Shean, Taanach, or their surrounding towns. Nor did they conquer the people living in Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo or their surrounding towns.[b] The Canaanites managed[c] to remain in those areas.[d] 28 Whenever Israel was strong militarily, they forced the Canaanites to do hard labor, but they never totally conquered them.

New International Version
26 He then went to the land of the Hittites,(A) where he built a city and called it Luz,(B) which is its name to this day.
27 But Manasseh did not(C) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(D) or Ibleam(E) or Megiddo(F) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(G) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(H)
