Finally Joseph's bones rest in Shechem, modern day Nablus. Interesting link to a recent article concerning Joseph's tomb.http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56238
Judah and Simeon join forces and fight for Jerusalem, a city in Benjamin's territory. They were unsuccessful because they were influenced with pagan culture in the land.
The commentary in the Chronological Bible, "The danger of incomplete conquest is the lingering presence of pagan influence." Not much difference today.
Interesting connection with the angel of the Lord in Judges 2:1-5 and the angel of the Lord in Exodus 23:20-22. Seems as if we are seeing a pattern here.
