NASB
"So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go free."
— Judges 1:25, NASB
“And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.”
“And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family. ”
“He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.”
“He showed them a secret entrance into the city, and they put the city to the sword. But they let the man and his extended family leave safely.”
“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:”
“So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.”
“And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.”
Likewise the house of Joseph went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
The house of Joseph spied out Bethel (now the name of the city was formerly Luz).
The spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city and we will treat you kindly."
So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go free.
The man went into the land of the Hittites and built a city and named it Luz which is its name to this day.
But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.
It came about when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.
