Judges 1:22-29

New International Version

²² Now the tribes of Joseph^(A) attacked Bethel,^(B) and the Lord was with them. ²³ When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),^{(C) 24} the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.^(D)” ²⁵ So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared^(E) the man and his whole family. ²⁶ He then went to the land of the Hittites,^(F) where he built a city and called it Luz,^(G) which is its name to this day.

²⁷ But Manasseh did not^(H) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor^(I) or Ibleam^(J) or Megiddo^(K) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites^(L) 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.^{(M) 29} Nor did Ephraim^(N) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,^(O) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.^(P)
