Benjamin and Joseph Failures

Judges 1:21-26

The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.

The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),

and when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us how to get into the city, and we will treat you kindly.”

So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.

And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
