Judges 1:27-29

Living Bible

²⁷ The tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the people living in Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, with their surrounding towns; so the Canaanites stayed there. ²⁸ In later years when the Israelis were stronger, they put the Canaanites to work as slaves, but never did force them to leave the country. ²⁹ This was also true of the Canaanites living in Gezer; they still live among the tribe of Ephraim.
