Judges 1:30 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary.'

These cities are probably the Kattath and Nahalal of Joshua 19:15 and were probably sited at the northern end of the plain of Jezreel. But they have not been identified. Again the same complaint is made, the people of Zebulun did not obey Yahweh and failed to drive out the Canaanites, instead putting them to tribute and receiving tribute from them. And fraternisation resulted in degradation. They did not realise what spiritual poison they had among them.

Judges 1:30

30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
