SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:13
Pero cuando los hijos de Israel tomaron fuerzas, hicieron tributario al cananeo, mas no lo echaron.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong , etc.] Increased in numbers, and became superior to the Canaanites, not only those of the tribe of Manasseh, but of the other tribes also: that they put the Canaanites to tribute ; they did not take away their lives, as they were commanded to do, but made them tributaries to them, which seems to arise from a covetous disposition, and done for the sake of gain: but did not utterly drive them out ; which they were ordered to do, and could now have done; for if they were able to make them pay tribute to them, they had power sufficient to drive them out, or destroy them, and therefore broke the commandment of God, ( Deuteronomy 7:1,2 20:16,17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-13 - There was great communication between Manasseh and Ephraim. Though eac tribe had its inheritance, yet they should intermix one with another to do good offices one to another, as became those, who, though of different tribes, were all one Israel, and were bound to love a brethren. But they suffered the Canaanites to live among them, agains the command of God, to serve their own ends.
