Joshua 17:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 Manasseh was supposed to have the following towns with their surrounding villages inside the borders of Issachar's and Asher's tribal lands:
Beth-Shan, Ibleam, Endor, Taanach, Megiddo, and Dor, which is also called Naphath.[a]
12 (A) But the people of Manasseh could not capture these towns, so the Canaanites kept on living in them. 13 When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites in these towns work as their slaves, though they never did force them to leave.

11 Within Issachar(A) and Asher, Manasseh also had Beth Shan,(B) Ibleam(C) and the people of Dor,(D) Endor,(E) Taanach(F) and Megiddo,(G) together with their surrounding settlements (the third in the list is Naphoth[a]).(H)
12 Yet the Manassites were not able(I) to occupy these towns, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that region. 13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not drive them out completely.(J)
