Solomon conscripted the descendants of all these peoples remaining in the land— whom the Israelites could not exterminate— to serve as slave labor, as it is to this day.

They were children of the people who had lived in the land before the Israelites came. Those people had been set apart to the Lord in a special way to be destroyed. But the Israelites hadn’t been able to kill all of them. Solomon forced them to work very hard as his slaves. And they still work for Israel as slaves to this day.

their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction— these Solomon drafted to be slaves, and so they are to this day.

These were descendants of the nations whom the people of Israel had not completely destroyed. So Solomon conscripted them as slaves, and they serve as forced laborers to this day.

their descendants who remained in the land after them, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely— Solomon imposed forced labor on them; it is still this way today.

their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were unable to completely eliminate, from them Solomon conscripted forced laborers, as they are to this day.

that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely— from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day.

Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.

Their descendants remained in the land( the Israelites were unable to wipe them out completely). Solomon conscripted them for his work crews, and they continue in that role to this very day.

their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.

The descendants of Manasseh could not possess these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.

But the descendants of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem. So the Jebusites live in Jerusalem among the descendants of Judah to this day.

At the same time the Benjaminites did not drive out the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem. The Jebusites have lived among the Benjaminites in Jerusalem to this day.

he said: Canaan will be cursed. He will be the lowest of slaves to his brothers.He also said: Praise the Lord, the God of Shem; Canaan will be his slave.

These are the heads of the province who stayed in Jerusalem( but in the villages of Judah each lived on his own property in their towns— the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants—

The descendants of Solomon’s servants included: Sotai’s descendants, Hassophereth’s descendants, Peruda’s descendants,Jaalah’s descendants, Darkon’s descendants, Giddel’s descendants,Shephatiah’s descendants, Hattil’s descendants, Pochereth-hazzebaim’s descendants, and Ami’s descendants.All the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon’s servants 392.

The descendants of Solomon’s servants included: Sotai’s descendants, Sophereth’s descendants, Perida’s descendants,

The Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He declared,“ Because this nation has violated My covenant that I made with their fathers and disobeyed Me,I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.I did this to test Israel and to see whether they would keep the Lord’s way by walking in it, as their fathers had.”The Lord left these nations and did not drive them out immediately. He did not hand them over to Joshua.These are the nations the Lord left in order to test Israel, since the Israelites had fought none of these in any of the wars with Canaan.This was to teach the future generations of the Israelites how to fight in battle, especially those who had not fought before.These nations included: the five rulers of the Philistines and all of the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the Lebanese mountains from Mount Baal-hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath.The Lord left them to test Israel, to determine if they would keep the Lord’s commands He had given their fathers through Moses.

But the descendants of Joseph said,“ The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who inhabit the valley area have iron chariots, both at Beth-shean with its towns and in the Jezreel Valley.”So Joshua replied to Joseph’s family( that is, Ephraim and Manasseh),“ You have many people and great strength. You will not have just one allotment,because the hill country will be yours also. It is a forest; clear it and its outlying areas will be yours. You can also drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded thembut mingled with the nations and adopted their ways.They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon had imposed to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the supporting terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

Then King Solomon drafted forced laborers from all Israel; the labor force numbered 30,000 men.

At that time Manasseh failed to take possession of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the residents of Dor and its villages, or the residents of Ibleam and its villages, or the residents of Megiddo and its villages; the Canaanites refused to leave this land.When Israel became stronger, they made the Canaanites serve as forced labor but never drove them out completely.At that time Ephraim failed to drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived among them in Gezer.Zebulun failed to drive out the residents of Kitron or the residents of Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced labor.Asher failed to drive out the residents of Acco or of Sidon, or Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob.The Asherites lived among the Canaanites who were living in the land, because they failed to drive them out.Naphtali did not drive out the residents of Beth-shemesh or the residents of Beth-anath. They lived among the Canaanites who were living in the land, but the residents of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served as their forced labor.The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to go down into the valley.The Amorites refused to leave Har-heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. When the house of Joseph got the upper hand, the Amorites were made to serve as forced labor.
