Judges 1:27

Read in context

Judges 1:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.

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

27 At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

28 When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely.

29 Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.
