The tribe of Benjamin, however, failed to conquer the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day, the Jebusites live among the Benjamites in Jerusalem. YAHWEH’s presence and power were with Joseph’s descendants, so they advanced toward Bethel and sent men ahead to spy out the city that was formerly known as Luz. The spies confronted a man coming out of Bethel and they said to him, “Show us the way to enter the city and we will treat you well.” So he showed the spies a secret entrance into the city, and they killed everyone living in Bethel with the sword except that man and his family. Later the man and his family moved to the land of the Hittites and built a town. The new town has kept the name Luz to this day. The Canaanites were determined to stay in their land, so the men of Manasseh did not conquer the cities of Beth Shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their surrounding villages. And whenever Israel gained the upper hand, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor; but they did not completely drive them out. The tribe of Ephraim failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites continue to live there among them. The tribe of Zebulun failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so the Canaanites continue to live there among them. The tribe of Asher failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob
