Judges 1:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 1:29

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.

29 ^aNor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30 Nor did ^aZebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and were put under tribute.

31 ^aNor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob.

32 So the Asherites ^adwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
