Judges 1:27–28
The chapter ends with tribe after tribe failing to remove Canaanite populations. Some Israelites turn the remaining inhabitants into forced labor instead of carrying out the covenant commands they had received. This catalogue is not filler; it explains why foreign worship, intermarriage, and recurring oppression become persistent problems in Judges.
Judges repeats Manasseh’s failure to dispossess several of the same Canaanite towns named in Joshua 17 and notes that the inhabitants were later subjected to forced labor, showing the incomplete-conquest problem continuing.
