Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Judges 1
³³ Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.
³⁴ Then the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the valley;
³⁵ yet the Amorites persisted in living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; but when the power of the house of Joseph grew strong, they became forced labor.
³⁶ The border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.
Judges 2
¹ Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ’I will never break My covenant with you,
² and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?
³ Therefore I also said, ’I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.’"
⁴ When the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
⁵ So they named that place Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the Lord.
⁶ When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.
⁷ The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the Lord which He had done for Israel.
