Judges 1:26 CPDV

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.
