  • Judg 1:22-29 : 22 Partial Success When the men of Joseph attacked Bethel, the LORD was with them. 23 When the men of Joseph spied out Bethel(it used to be called Luz), 24 the spies spotted a man leaving the city. They said to him,“If you show us a secret entrance into the city, we will reward you.” 25 He showed them a secret entrance into the city, and they put the city to the sword. But they let the man and his extended family leave safely. 26 He moved to Hittite country and built a city. He named it Luz, and it has kept that name to this very day. 27 The men of Manasseh did not conquer Beth Shean, Taanach, or their surrounding towns. Nor did they conquer the people living in Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo or their surrounding towns.
