joshua 17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

joshua 17:12 But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

Jos 17:12, 13. CANAANITES NOT DRIVEN OUT.

12, 13. Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out those cities--probably due to indolence, a love of ease. Perhaps a mistaken humanity, arising from a disregard or forgetfulness of the divine command, and a decreasing principle of faith and zeal in the service of God, were the causes of their failure.

joshua 17:12 But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.
