Judges 1:33-35
New English Translation
33 The men of Naphtali did not conquer the people living in Beth Shemesh or Beth Anath.[a] They live among the Canaanites residing in the land. The Canaanites[b] living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced to do hard labor for them.
34 The Amorites forced the people of Dan to live in the hill country. They did not allow them to live in[c] the coastal plain. 35 The Amorites managed[d] to remain in Har Heres,[e] Aijalon, and Shaalbim. Whenever the tribe of Joseph was strong militarily,[f] the Amorites were forced to do hard labor.
