Joshua 17:16-18
American Standard Version
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country [a]is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel. 17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only: 18 but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.

Joshua 17:16-18
New International Version
16 The people of Joseph replied, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the plain have chariots fitted with iron,(A) both those in Beth Shan(B) and its settlements and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”(C)
17 But Joshua said to the tribes of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one allotment(D) 18 but the forested hill country(E) as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron(F) and though they are strong, you can drive them out.”
