33 ^aNor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

35 and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, ^ain Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they² were put under tribute.

36 Now the boundary of the Amorites was ^afrom the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
