24 Those who were sent saw a man coming out of the city. They said to him, "Show us how to get into the city. If you do, we'll see that you are treated well."
25 So he showed them how to get in. The men of Joseph killed the people in the city with their swords. But they spared the man from Bethel. They also spared his whole family.
26 Then he went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city there. He called it Luz. That's still its name to this very day.
27 But the tribe of Manasseh didn't drive out the people of Beth Shan. They didn't drive out the people of Taanach, Dor, Ibleam and Megiddo. And they didn't drive out the people of the settlements that are around those cities either. That's because the people of Canaan had made up their minds to continue living in that land.
28 Later, Israel became stronger. Then they forced the people of Canaan to work hard for them. But Israel never drove them out completely.
29 The tribe of Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer. So they continued to live there among them.
30 The tribe of Zebulun didn't drive out the Canaanites who were living in Kitron and Nahalol. So they remained among them. But Zebulun forced the Canaanites to work hard for them.
