And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

Verse 19 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.

Jehová estaba con Judá, que tomó posesión de la región montañosa; pero no pudo expulsar a los habitantes del valle, porque tenían carros de hierro.
L'Eternel fut avec Juda; et Juda se rendit maître de la montagne, mais il ne put chasser les habitants de la plaine, parce qu'ils avaient des chars de fer.
E il Signore fu con Giuda; ed essi scacciarono gli abitanti del monte; ma non poterono scacciar gli abitanti della valle; perchè aveano de’ carri di ferro.
E estava o SENHOR com Judá, e despovoou as montanhas; porém não expulsou aos moradores do vale, porquanto tinham carros de ferro.
