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.
