Judges 1:33
Judges 1:33 in Multiple Translations
Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
¶ Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them.
Naphtali drove not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to taskwork.
Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.
Naphtali didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out. However, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were made to do forced labor for the people of Naphtali.
Neither did Naphtali driue out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande: neuerthelesse the inhabitantes of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath became tributaries vnto them.
Naphtali hath not dispossessed the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh, and the inhabitants of Beth-Anath, and he dwelleth in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of Beth-Anath have become tributary to them.
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.
Neither did Naphtali expel the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
Nephtali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him.
The men of the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath cities to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.

Context — The Failure to Complete the Conquest
31Asher failed to drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.
32So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out.
33Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
34The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down into the plain. 35And the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the Amorites into forced labor.Cross References

Judges 1:33 Summary
This verse tells us that the tribe of Naphtali did not fully obey God's command to drive out the Canaanites from the land, and instead allowed them to remain and serve as forced laborers. This is a picture of what can happen when we do not fully trust and obey God, and instead try to compromise with the enemy (2 Corinthians 6:14-18). As believers, we need to trust God to give us the strength to overcome our spiritual enemies, just as He promised to give the Israelites victory over the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Joshua 1:5-9). By trusting and obeying God, we can experience victory and freedom in our lives, just as He promised.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Naphtali fail to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath?
The Bible does not explicitly state why Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants, but it may be related to a lack of faith or obedience, as seen in other instances where the Israelites failed to trust God and follow His commands (Deuteronomy 1:32, Joshua 7:1-26).
What does it mean that the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served the Naphtalites as forced laborers?
This means that the Naphtalites allowed the Canaanites to remain in the land, but they were forced to work for the Naphtalites, as a form of subjugation, rather than being driven out or destroyed (Joshua 17:13, Judges 1:28-35).
Is this verse related to the concept of spiritual warfare?
Yes, this verse can be seen as an example of spiritual warfare, where the Israelites were supposed to trust God and follow His commands to drive out the Canaanites, who represented a spiritual enemy (Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
How does this verse relate to the broader context of the book of Judges?
This verse is part of a larger pattern in the book of Judges, where the Israelites fail to fully obey God's commands and drive out the Canaanites, leading to a cycle of sin, judgment, and deliverance (Judges 2:10-23, 3:1-4).
Reflection Questions
- What are the spiritual enemies that I need to 'drive out' of my own life, and how can I trust God to give me victory over them?
- In what ways can I be like the Naphtalites, allowing 'Canaanites' to remain in my life, rather than trusting God to give me the strength to overcome them?
- How can I apply the principle of trusting God for victory over my spiritual enemies, as seen in this verse, to my daily life and struggles?
- What are the consequences of not fully obeying God's commands, as seen in this verse, and how can I avoid making the same mistakes in my own life?
Gill's Exposition on Judges 1:33
Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath,.... Of which places [See comments on Joshua 19:38]; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants

Beth-shemesh; a place differing from that Beth-shemesh, .
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 1:33
(33) Neither did Naphtali.—See Joshua 19:32-38. Beth-shemesh.—The name means “house of the sun,” and the place was probably a great centre of Baal-worship; but this Beth-shemesh in Naphtali is not the same as Ir-shemesh (“city of the sun”) in Joshua 15:10, which was on the borders of Judah. It is the “mount of the sun” (Har-cheres) in Judges 1:35. In Isaiah 19:18, alluding to another “city of the sun” (On, i.e., Heliopolis), the prophet calls it not Is-ha-Cheres, “the city of the sun,” but Ir-ha-Heres, “the city of overthrow,” with one of those scornful plays on words of which the Jews were fond. Beth-anath.—Nothing is known of this town. The name perhaps means “house of echo,” and some identify it with Baneas or Paneas, a place at which the echo was famous. Nevertheless.—The tribe of Naphtali was in the same unhappy condition as that of Asher, living in the midst of a Canaanite population of superior strength to themselves. They had, however, so far succeeded as to reduce the two chief towns (out of nineteen—Joshua 19:38) to a tributary condition.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 1:33
Verse 33. Neither did Naphtali] See the notes on Joshua 19:32-39.
Cambridge Bible on Judges 1:33
33. Naphtali] inhabited the eastern part of Upper Galilee; Judges 1:18. On the S. the territory was bounded by Zebulun and Issachar, on the W. by Asher. It is curious that only two cities are named as having stood out against Naphtali; perhaps the list is not complete, cf. Judges 4:2 ff. (Hazor). Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath (Joshua 19:38) i.e. ‘temple of the sun(-god),’ ‘temple of (the goddess) Anath,’ were Canaanite sanctuaries, as the names shew; their sites are unknown; possibly ‘Ainîtha, 6 m. N.W. of Ḳ ?ades (Kadesh of Naphtali), may be Beth-anath. Both names occur also in Judah, Joshua 15:10; Joshua 15:59; Judges 1:35 n. became tributary unto them] had to do forced labour for them.
Whedon's Commentary on Judges 1:33
33. Beth-shemesh (house of the sun) and Beth-anath (house of echo) are unknown.
