Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 1:29

‘ And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.’ Gezer was in the hill country and easier to subdue. It was on the road from Jerusalem to Joppa, on the most northern ridge of the Shephelah, overlooking the Ayyalon valley. But when they captured it Ephraim allowed the Canaanites to remain among them and set them to taskwork (Joshua 16:10). Pharaoh Merenptah later boasts of capturing it, (he also claimed to have destroyed Israel!),... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 1:1-36

Judges 1:1 to Judges 2:5 . The Conquests and Settlements of the Israelites in Western Palestine.— From this introduction, which is one of the most valuable parts of early Hebrew history, we learn that the various tribes invaded the land either singly or in small groups; that they had failures as well as successes; that in many instances they did not destroy the older population, but settled peacefully among them; and that, in particular, the larger cities of Canaan, as well as the fertile... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 1:27-34

Judges 1:27-Nahum : . Partial Successes.— Several of the tribes failed to win the prizes they coveted. Much of the allotted territory remained in the hands of the Canaanites. Judges 1:27 . Beth-shan is now Beisâ n. Situated in a fertile part of the Jordan Valley, 3 m. W. of the river, it commanded the Vale of Jezreel (Wady Jâ lû d), which led up to the plain of Esdraelon.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Judges 1:1-36

Judges 1:0 and Judges 2:0 The character of Joshua is, like that of many soldiers, simple and easily understood. He was strong and of a good courage, a man, fit not only for battle, but for tedious campaigning; full of resources, and able to keep up the heart of a whole people by his hopeful bearing. It was one of the most difficult of tasks which was entrusted to Joshua. He was to lead the people through a series of the most brilliant and exciting military successes, and then to turn them to... read more

Judges 1:27-28Neither did Manasseh drive out.Forsaking the Lord’s workManasseh and Ephraim, and the rest of these tribes, did not fail in completing their warfare because they had begun imprudently, but because they did not continue believingly. The tower of conquest was unfinished, not because they had not counted the cost at the beginning, but because they forgot their infinite resources in the help of Jehovah.I.
