Context
13Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
14And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
15And Joshua answered them, If thou a great people, get thee up to the wood and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, who of Beth-shean and her towns, and who of the valley of Jezreel.
17And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot
18But the mountain shall be thine; for it a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, though they strong.
