Dommerne 1,30

28 Da Israel ble sterk, underla de kanaaneerne tvangsarbeid, men drev dem ikke helt ut.

29 Efraim drev ikke ut kanaaneerne som bodde i Geser, så de fortsatte å bo blant dem.

Sebulon drev ikke ut innbyggerne i Kitron eller Nahalol; dermed bodde kanaaneerne blant dem og ble underlagt tvangsarbeid.

31 Asjer drev ikke ut innbyggerne i Akko, Sidon, Ahlab, Aksib, Helba, Afik, eller Rehob.

32 Asjerittene bodde blant kanaaneerne, innbyggerne i landet, da de ikke drev dem ut.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
