Context — The Failure to Complete the Conquest

25So 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. 26And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.

27At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

28When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely. 29Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.

Judges 1:27 Summary

Judges 1:27 tells us that the tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of several cities, including Beth-shean and Megiddo, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in the land. This verse teaches us that our spiritual enemies, such as sin and Satan, are also determined to stay in our lives, and we must trust God to give us the strength to overcome them (Ephesians 6:10-18). We must also be careful to obey God's commands and trust in His power, rather than our own strength, to overcome our enemies (Joshua 1:6-9). By trusting in God and following His Word, we can overcome the spiritual strongholds in our lives and fully possess the spiritual land He has given us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Manasseh fail to drive out the inhabitants of the cities mentioned in Judges 1:27?

Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants because the Canaanites were determined to dwell in the land, as stated in Judges 1:27, and this lack of success was likely due to a lack of faith and obedience to God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:6-8 and Joshua 1:6-9.

What were the consequences of Manasseh's failure to drive out the Canaanites?

The consequences of Manasseh's failure were that the Canaanites remained in the land and the Israelites were not able to fully possess it, as stated in Judges 1:28, and this led to future problems and conflicts, as seen in Judges 2:10-15 and 1 Kings 9:20-21.

How does this verse relate to the overall theme of the book of Judges?

This verse relates to the overall theme of the book of Judges, which is the cycle of sin, judgment, and redemption, as the Israelites' failure to obey God's commands and drive out the Canaanites led to their own sin and judgment, as seen in Judges 2:10-15 and 21:25.

What can we learn from the Canaanites' determination to dwell in the land?

We can learn from the Canaanites' determination that our own spiritual enemies, such as sin and Satan, are also determined to dwell in our lives, and we must be just as determined to resist them and follow God, as seen in Ephesians 6:10-18 and 1 Peter 5:8-9.

Trapp's Commentary on Judges 1:27

Judges 1:27 Neither did Manasseh drive out [the inhabitants of] Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Ver. 27. See Joshua 17:11-12.

Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 1:27

(27) Neither did Manasseh.—The sacred historian is glancing at the conquest of Canaan, advancing from the southern tribes upwards to central and northern Palestine. (See Joshua 17:11-13.) Beth-shean.—The town to the walls of which the victorious Philistines nailed the bodies of Saul and Jonathan after the battle of Gilboa, and from which they were recovered by the gratitude of the brave people of Jabesh Gilead (1 Samuel 31:8; 2 Samuel 21:12). It is again mentioned in 1 Kings 4:12, and in later days was well known under the name of Scytho-polis, or “city of Scythians” (2Ma 12:29), a name contemptuously given to it from the barbarism of its inhabitants (Jos. Vit. 6). Though conquered by Manasseh, it was in the lot of Issachar (Joshua 17:11). It is now called Beisan. It was in a district so rich and fruitful that the Rabbis describe it as the gate of Paradise. And her towns.—Literally, and her daughters.Taanach.—The name means “the sandy.” It was a town of Issachar assigned to the Levites, and was famous for Barak’s victory over Sisera. It is still called Taanuk (Robinson, Bibl. Res. i. 316). Dor.—Properly in Asher, it seems to have been attacked by Manasseh, and was ultimately won by Ephraim (Joshua 11:2; Joshua 17:11; 1 Chronicles 7:29). It long continued to be an important place (1Ma 15:11; Jos. Antt. xiv. 5, § 3). It lies near the foot of Carmel, and is now called Tantura. Endor (“the fountain of Dor”) was probably one of its dependencies. Ibleam.—Also called Bileam (1 Chronicles 6:70). It was a Levitical town (Joshua 21:25). The only event connected with it in Scripture is the death of Ahaziah (2 Kings 9:27). Perhaps Khirbet-Belameh. Megiddo.—Near Taanach. It is now called Lejjûn, from having been a station of the Romans. See Judges 1:19; 2 Kings 9:27 (the death of Ahaziah); and 2 Kings 23:29; Zechariah 12:11 (the defeat of Josiah by Pharaoh Necho). It was fortified by Solomon (1 Kings 9:15). From this town is derived the famous name Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) as a scene of battle and wailing. The Canaanites would dwell in that land—i.e., the old inhabitants obstinately and successfully held their own (Joshua 17:12).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 1:27

Verse 27. Beth-shean] Called by the Septuagint Σκυθωνπολις, Scythopolis, or the city of the Scythians. On these towns see the notes, Joshua 17:12-13.

Cambridge Bible on Judges 1:27

27–35. The ill-success of the different tribes: they settle among the older population From this point the form of the narrative changes. Hitherto successes as well as failures have been recorded, with ancient traditions of particular episodes; now follows a bare list of Canaanite strongholds which the new-comers failed to capture. Other towns may have been occupied by the tribes in their several districts; but in most cases the Israelites had to be content to settle down side by side with the old inhabitants. Again the Book of Joshua furnishes parallels and additions.

Whedon's Commentary on Judges 1:27

OF THE REST OF THE TRIBES, Judges 1:27-36. 27. Manasseh — For the boundaries, see Joshua 17:7-11; also note on the same for a description of Beth-shean and Ibleam. Taanach and Megiddo — See Joshua 12:21.
