Israel Fails to Complete the Conquest

^27 (A)But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth-shean and its towns or Taanach and its towns or the inhabitants of Dor and its towns or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; so ^(B)the Canaanites persisted to live in that land. ²⁸ And it happened when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not dispossess them completely.

^29 (C)Also Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites who were living in Gezer; so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
