Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 17:12-13

_ _ Joshua 17:12, Joshua 17:13. Canaanites not driven out.

_ _ Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out those cities — probably due to indolence, a love of ease. Perhaps a mistaken humanity, arising from a disregard or forgetfulness of the divine command, and a decreasing principle of faith and zeal in the service of God, were the causes of their failure.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 17:7-13.
