Benjamin and Joseph Failures

Judges 1:21-26

Benjamin and Joseph Failures

21
But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day.
22
The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23
For when they were besieging the city, which before was called Luza,
24
They saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
25
And when he had shewed them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man, and all his kindred, they let go:
26
Who being sent away, went into the land of Hetthim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.
