So the people of Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites,and they intermarried with them. Israelite sons married their daughters, and Israelite daughters were given in marriage to their sons. And the Israelites served their gods.

Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?

For your part, you were not to make any covenants with the people living in this land; instead, you were to destroy their altars. But you disobeyed my command. Why did you do this?So now I declare that I will no longer drive out the people living in your land. They will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a constant temptation to you.”

But the Canaanites were forced to work as slaves for the people of Zebulun.The tribe of Asher failed to drive out the residents of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.Instead, the people of Asher moved in among the Canaanites, who controlled the land, for they failed to drive them out.Likewise, the tribe of Naphtali failed to drive out the residents of Beth shemesh and Beth anath. Instead, they moved in among the Canaanites, who controlled the land. Nevertheless, the people of Beth shemesh and Beth anath were forced to work as slaves for the people of Naphtali.As for the tribe of Dan, the Amorites forced them back into the hill country and would not let them come down into the plains.The Amorites were determined to stay in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the descendants of Joseph became stronger, they forced the Amorites to work as slaves.The boundary of the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass to Sela and continued upward from there.
