Judges 1:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ But the men of Manasseh's tribe could not chase out the people of these five cities: Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam and Megiddo. The Canaanites who lived there were strong. So they continued to live in those cities and the regions around them. ²⁸ When the Israelites had a strong army, they made the Canaanites do hard work for them. But they could never chase the Canaanites away completely.

²⁹ The men of Ephraim's tribe could not chase out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. Those Canaanites continued to live among the people of Ephraim in Gezer.
