Judges 1:27

Neither did Manasseh drive out [the inhabitants of] Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

Neither did Manasseh {H4519} drive out {H3423} the inhabitants of Bethshean {H1052} and her towns {H1323}, nor Taanach {H8590} and her towns {H1323}, nor the inhabitants {H3427} of Dor {H1756} and her towns {H1323}, nor the inhabitants {H3427} of Ibleam {H2991} and her towns {H1323}, nor the inhabitants {H3427} of Megiddo {H4023} and her towns {H1323}: but the Canaanites {H3669} would {H2974} dwell {H3427} in that land {H776}.

M'nasheh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beit-Sh'an and its villages, Ta'anakh and its villages, Dor and its villages, Yivle'am and its villages or Megiddo and its villages; so that the Kena'ani managed to keep on living in that land.

At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

And Manasseh did not drive outthe inhabitants ofBeth-shean and its towns, norofTaanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
