Book ◦ Chapter

Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath.
The tribe of Naphtali was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the son of Jacob and Bilhah. The failure to drive out the inhabitants reflects a recurring theme in the Book of Judges, where the Israelites did not fully obey God's command to remove the Canaanites from the land (Deuteronomy 7:1-2). Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were cities within the territory allotted to Naphtali. Archaeological evidence suggests these were significant Canaanite settlements, indicating the challenge the Israelites faced. This failure to fully conquer the land led to the Israelites being influenced by Canaanite culture and religion, which often resulted in idolatry and disobedience to God.

So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land,
Living among the Canaanites meant that the Israelites were in constant contact with pagan practices and beliefs, which often led to syncretism and the dilution of their worship of Yahweh. This coexistence was contrary to God's command to be separate and holy (Leviticus 20:24-26). The presence of Canaanites among them was a test of Israel's faithfulness and often resulted in spiritual compromise, as seen throughout the Book of Judges.

but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
The use of Canaanites as forced laborers was a pragmatic solution for the Israelites, providing economic benefits and labor for building projects. However, this arrangement was a deviation from God's command to completely drive out the inhabitants (Exodus 23:31-33). This compromise reflects a lack of faith and obedience, as the Israelites relied on their own understanding rather than trusting in God's provision and protection. The situation foreshadows future issues Israel would face due to incomplete obedience, leading to cycles of sin and oppression throughout the period of the Judges.

Persons / Places / Events

1.Naphtali
One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the son of Jacob and Bilhah. The tribe was allotted land in the northern part of Canaan.

2.Beth-shemesh
A city within the territory of Naphtali. The name means "house of the sun," indicating a possible center of sun worship among the Canaanites.

3.Beth-anath
Another city in Naphtali's territory. The name suggests a connection to the Canaanite goddess Anath, indicating the presence of pagan worship.

4.Canaanites
The original inhabitants of the land of Canaan, known for their idolatrous practices and opposition to Israel's occupation of the land.

5.Forced Labor
The Canaanites were subjected to labor by the Israelites, indicating a partial victory but also a failure to fully obey God's command to drive them out.

Teaching Points

Partial Obedience is Disobedience
The failure of Naphtali to drive out the Canaanites shows that partial obedience to God's commands is still disobedience. This serves as a reminder to fully commit to God's instructions in our lives.

Consequences of Compromise
Living among the Canaanites led to Israel's spiritual decline. Compromise with worldly values can lead to a gradual erosion of faith and commitment to God.

God's Sovereignty and Human Responsibility
While God had promised the land to Israel, they were responsible for taking action. This balance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility is crucial in our walk with God.

The Danger of Idolatry
The presence of Canaanite cities like Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath, associated with pagan worship, underscores the constant threat of idolatry. We must guard our hearts against modern-day idols.

What Does Judges 1:33 Mean

Naphtali failed to drive out

“Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath.” God had explicitly commanded complete removal of the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 7:1-2; 20:16-18;Numbers 33:55-56). By recording Naphtali’s shortfall, Scripture shows a literal, historical moment of partial obedience. The pattern had already appeared with Judah, Manasseh, Ephraim, and others inJudges 1:19, 27-30. Every tribe’s compromise chipped away at Israel’s covenant calling:

• God’s promise of victory was clear (Joshua 1:3-5), but fear, complacency, and misplaced confidence nudged Naphtali into settling for less.

• Partial obedience still counts as disobedience; the Angel of the LORD later rebukes the nation, “I will not drive them out before you; they will become thorns in your sides” (Judges 2:3).

• The historical note is not an error or exaggeration; it is a faithful record reminding readers that God’s people can choose convenience over command.

Living among the Canaanites

“So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land….” Instead of Canaanites living under Israel’s banner, Israel now lives among them—a reversal of God’s intent (Joshua 23:12-13). This compromise bred mingling and eventual idolatry (Judges 2:10-13).

Consequences of coexistence:

• Cultural blending: forbidden alliances and marriages inevitably followed (Deuteronomy 7:3-4).

• Spiritual erosion: pagan altars, images, and practices became accessible, normal, and enticing.

• Loss of witness: Israel’s distinctness dimmed, undermining its call to show the nations the holiness of Yahweh (Exodus 19:5-6).

The inspired writer underscores that living “among” rather than ruling “over” shaped the dark cycles that dominate the rest of Judges.

Forced laborers serve Israel

“…but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.” On the surface, Naphtali still seems victorious: they subject the Canaanites and profit from their labor. Yet God never offered economic benefit as a substitute for obedience.

• Zebulun used the same tactic (Judges 1:30); Solomon later conscripted remaining Canaanites (1 Kings 9:20-21). These stop-gap measures brought short-term gain but long-term risk.

• The very people Israel spared would later regroup; Hazor—near Naphtali—became the center of Canaanite oppression inJudges 4:2-3.

• Choosing exploitation over elimination fostered an attitude of compromise that undercut faithfulness and set the stage for repeated subjugation.

summary

Judges 1:33 records a real, literal failure by the tribe of Naphtali. God had commanded total removal; instead, Naphtali allowed the Canaanites to remain, lived among them, and pressed them into forced labor. What looked like practical prudence was covenant unfaithfulness, opening the door to cultural assimilation and future oppression. The verse teaches that partial obedience cannot replace complete fidelity to God’s clear commands, and that compromise, even when profitable, ultimately weakens God’s people.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(33)Neither did Naphtali.--SeeJoshua 19:32-38. Beth-shemesh.--The name means "house of the sun," and the place was probably a great centre of Baal-worship; but this Beth-shemesh in Naphtali is not the same as Ir-shemesh ("city of the sun") inJoshua 15:10, which was on the borders of Judah. It is the "mount of the sun" (Har-cheres) inJudges 1:35. InIsaiah 19:18, alluding to another "city of the sun" (On,i.e.,Heliopolis), the prophet calls it not Is-ha-Cheres, "the city of the sun," but Ir-ha-Heres, "the city of overthrow," with one of those scornful plays on words of which the Jews were fond.

Beth-anath.--Nothing is known of this town. The name perhaps means "house of echo," and some identify it with Baneas or Paneas, a place at which the echo was famous.

Nevertheless.--The tribe of Naphtali was in the same unhappy condition as that of Asher, living in the midst of a Canaanite population of superior strength to themselves. They had, however, so far succeeded as to reduce the two chief towns (out of nineteen--Joshua 19:38) to a tributary condition. . . .
