Judges 1:27 – 2:10

1:27 And Manasseh did not dispossess Beth-shean with its towns or Taanach with its towns or the inhabitants of Dor with its towns or the inhabitants of Ibleam with its towns or the inhabitants of Megiddo with its towns, but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.
1:28 And when Israel became strong, they made the Canaanites forced labor; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
1:29 And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer.
1:30 Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them and became forced labor.
1:31 Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon and Ahlab and Achzib and Helbah and Aphik and Rehob;
1:32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites who inhabited the land, for they did not dispossess them.
1:33 Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites who inhabited the land. Yet the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.
1:34 And the Amorites pushed the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down into the valley.
1:35 And the Amorites persisted in dwelling in Har-heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed so that they became forced labor.
1:36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.

2:1 Then the Angel of Jehovah went up from Gilgal to Bochim. And He said, I caused you to go up out from Egypt, and I brought you into the land that I swore to your fathers. And I said, I will never break My covenant with you,
2:2 And you shall not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars. But you did not listen to My voice. What is this that you have done?
2:3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they will be like thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.
2:4 And when the Angel of Jehovah had spoken these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
2:5 And they called the name of that place Bochim. And they offered to Jehovah there.
2:6 Now when Joshua sent the people away, each of the children of Israel went to his own inheritance to possess the land.
2:7 And the people served Jehovah throughout all the days of Joshua and throughout all the days of the elders whose days extended after Joshua’s and who saw all the great work of Jehovah that He had done for Israel.
2:8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.
2:9 And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
2:10 And all that generation as well were gathered to their fathers; and another generation, who did not know Jehovah or the work that He had done for Israel, rose up after them.
