Contextual Overview

21And the sons of Benjamin have not dispossessed the Jebusite inhabiting Jerusalem; and the Jebusite dwells with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, until this day. 22And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them; 23and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz), 24and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, "Please show us the entrance of the city, and we have done kindness with you." 25And he shows them the entrance of the city, and they strike the city by the mouth of the sword, and they have sent the man and all his family away; 26and the man goes to the land of the Hittites, and builds a city, and calls its name Luz—it [is] its name to this day. 27And Manasseh has not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in that land; 28and it comes to pass, when Israel has been strong, that he sets the Canaanite to forced labor, and has not utterly dispossessed it. 29And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.30Zebulun has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Kitron, and the inhabitants of Nahalol, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, and they become forced labor.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer,.... Not so much as made them tributaries, but made a covenant with them, it is probable, contrary to the express will of God:

but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them; the Ephraimites agreeing to it, and here they dwelt to the times of Solomon;

:-; where indeed they are said to be under tribute; but that seems to respect some later time, and not when they were first admitted to dwell among them, since no mention is made of it here.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 1:29. Neither did Ephraim — See the notes on the parallel passages, Joshua 16:5-10.
