20 aAnd they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he1 expelled from there the bthree sons of Anak.
21 aBut the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 And the1 house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, aand the Lord was with them.
23 So the1 house of Joseph asent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly bLuz.)
24 And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and awe will show you mercy.”
25 So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Incomplete Conquest of the Land
27 aHowever, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or bTaanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of cDor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.
