Verse 16 is found in chapter 1 of Judges. The Kenites settle alongside Judah while Judah continues its campaigns. However, the Benjaminites do not drive the Jebusites out of Jerusalem. This observation anticipates a fundamental tension in the book: Israel possesses real promises and victories, but its obedience and ability to complete the occupation remain incomplete. The presence of the remaining peoples will later be associated with religious and political problems.
