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.

那些以色列人在当地不能灭尽的人，所罗门征召他们剩下的后代作服劳役的奴仆，直到今日。

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

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.

Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah couldn’t drive them out; but the Jebusites live with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

He said,“ Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”He said,“ Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

Now these are the chiefs of the province who lived in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah everyone lived in his possession in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants.

The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Hassophereth, the children of Peruda,the children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth Hazzebaim, the children of Ami.All the temple servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety- two.

The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,

Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said,“ Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to Yahweh’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.

The children of Joseph said,“ The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.”Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying,“ You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”

They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

This is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build Yahweh’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

Manasseh didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach 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.When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim. Yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.
