23 For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
24 they saw a man departing from the city, and they said to him, "Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you."
25 And when he had revealed it to them, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But that man, and all his relatives, they released.
26 And having been sent away, he went out to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city there, and he called it Luz. And so it is called, even to the present day.
27 Likewise, Manasseh did not destroy Bethshean and Taanach, with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and Ibleam and Megiddo, with their villages. And the Canaanite began to live with them.
28 Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
29 And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.
