Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. And they drave not out. The Ephraimites soon grew slack in the fulfilment of the Divine command. There is a distinction, apparently, between this passage and ch. 15:63. There the tribe of Judah was unable to drive out the Jebusites from their stronghold, and no mention is made of tribute. Here the Ephraimites seem deliberately to have preferred the easier task of reducing the Canaanites to tribute to the sterner and more difficult task of destroying them utterly.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) They drave not out.--The failure of Ephraim here is noticed, as was the failure of Judah above (Joshua 15:63).
