25. He showed them. So they got into the city and killed everyone there. But they let that man and his whole family go free.
26. The man went to the land of the Hittites. There he built a city and called it Luz. The city still has that name today.
27. Now, the tribe of Manasseh did not force out the people of Beth Shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo or their villages. The Canaanites were determined to live in this land.
28. When the Israelites were strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor. But they did not force all of them out.
29. The tribe of Ephraim did not force out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites continued to live with them in Gezer.
30. The tribe of Zebulun did not force out those who lived at Kitron or Nahalol. So the Canaanites continued to live with them and were made to do forced labor.
