Contextual Overview
21 And the sons of Benjamin did not dispossess the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. And the Jebusites live with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day. 22 And the house of Joseph went up, they also against Bethel. And Jehovah was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy around Bethel, and the name of the city formerly was Luz. 24 And those keeping watch saw a man coming out from the city and said to him, Let us see the entrance of the city, and we will deal with you with mercy. 25 And he showed them the entrance of the city. And they struck the city with the mouth of the sword; and they sent away the man and all his family. 26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city, and called its name Luz; it is its name to this day. 27 And Manasseh had not dispossessed Beth-shean and its daughter-villages , or Taanach and its daughter-villages, nor struck the ones living in Dor and its daughter-villages , nor the ones living in Ibleam and its daughter-villages ; or the ones living in Megiddo and its daughter-villages . For the Canaanites desired to live in that land. 28 But it happened when Israel became strong, it happened that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not completely dispossess them. 29 And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, and the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer. 30 Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron, and the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and they became forced-laborers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem,.... That is, that part of it which belonged to them, for it lay between Judah and Benjamin; and neither of them separately, nor both conjunctly, could drive out the Jebusites from it, particularly the strong hold on the top of Mount Sion, which they held to the times of David. Abarbinel is of opinion, that Jerusalem in those times was not a city enclosed about, but was a large province, part of which belonged to the tribe of Judah, and another to the tribe of Benjamin, and another was possessed by the Jebusites; and so Jarchi says it was a province, the name of which was Jebusi:
but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin unto this day; when this book was written, which was done by Samuel, as Kimchi and Ben Gersom; and it is certain from hence it must have been written before the reign of David, who dispossessed the Jebusites, 2 Samuel 5:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This verse is nearly identical with Joshua 15:63, except in the substitution of Benjamin for Judah. Probably the original reading Judah was altered in later times to Benjamin, because Jebus was within the border of Benjamin, and neither had the Benjamites expelled the Jebusites.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 1:21. The Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin — Jerusalem was situated partly in the tribe of Judah, and partly in the tribe of Benjamin, the northern part belonging to the latter tribe, the southern to the former. The Jebusites had their strongest position in the part that belonged to Benjamin, and from this place they were not wholly expelled till the days of David. Judges 1:8. What is said here of Benjamin is said of Judah, Joshua 15:63. There must be an interchange of the names in one or other of these places.
Unto this day. — As the Jebusites dwelt in Jerusalem till the days of David, by whom they were driven out, and the author of the book of Judges states them to have been in possession of Jerusalem when he wrote; therefore this book was written before the reign of David.
