Defender: Jdg 1:28 - Canaanites to tribute

The incompleteness of the destruction of the Canaanites is also noted in Jdg 1:30, Jdg 1:33, Jdg 1:35. Yet, Jos 10:40 reports that Joshua had "utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded (Jos 11:14, Jos 11:15). In the early part of his conquests, Joshua evidently swept rapidly through the southern cities, destroying everyone he encountered. Presumably there were many who escaped by hiding in the hills or elsewhere. Furthermore, the conquest of northern and western regions was never completed. So the remnants of the various Canaanite nations either retained or regained enough strength to cause great problems to Israel during the period of the judges."

Gill: Jdg 1:28 - And it came to pass, when Israel was strong // that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out

And it came to pass, when Israel was strong,.... All the tribes of Israel were become numerous, and able to drive the Canaanites out of the land everywhere, and particularly were able to assist Manasseh in expelling the Canaanites out of the above places, yet they did not; but all they did was:

that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out; which flowed from covetousness, and a love of ease; they did not care to be at the trouble of expelling them, as they found it turned more to their account and present advantage to make them tributaries; and this was true of the Israelites in general, and of the half tribe of Manasseh in particular; which, as Abarbinel thinks, is here respected.
