Same type of Chapter as last night - divisions of lands BUT we still need to find out why the last verse in each of the chapters leaves a peoples unconquered??? Is there an importance or not???
Chapter 15 verse 63 Judah could not dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the people of Judah.
Chapter 16, verse 10 They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.
I think that It might be punish to punish them but also I remember reading about the one tribe that lied to them in order to not be killed, making a treaty. And after the Israelites found out they were tricked, they still had to honor their agreement and let them have some portion of land.
