But they did not driveout the Canaaniteswho livedin Gezer,so the Canaaniteslivein the midstof Ephraimto thisday,and they becameforcedlaborers.
Now the LORDwas with Judah,and they tookpossessionof the hillcountry;but they could not driveout the inhabitantsof the valleybecausethey had ironchariots.
But the sonsof Benjamindid not driveout the Jebusiteswho livedin Jerusalem;so the Jebusiteshave livedwith the sonsof Benjaminin Jerusalemto thisday.
and as for you, you shall makenocovenantwith the inhabitantsof thisland;you shall teardowntheir altars.'But you have not obeyedMe; whatis thisyou have done?
