1After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel inquired of the LORD, "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"H310H4194H3091H1121H3478H7592H3068H559H5927H3669H8462H38982The LORD said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand."H3068H559H3063H5927H5414H776H30273And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites. And I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you." So Simeon went with him.H3063H559H8095H251H5927H1486H3898H3669H1980H1486H8095H32124Then Judah went up and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they defeated 10,000 of them at Bezek.H3063H5927H3068H5414H3669H6522H3027H5221H966H6235H505H3765They found Adoni-bezek at Bezek and fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.H4672H137H966H3898H5221H3669H65226Adoni-bezek fled, but they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.H137H5127H7291H310H270H7112H931H3027H72727And Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has repaid me." And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.H137H559H7657H4428H931H3027H7272H7112H3950H7979H6213H430H7999H935H3389H41918And the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.H1121H3063H3898H3389H3920H5221H6310H2719H7971H5892H7849And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negeb, and in the lowland.H310H1121H3063H3381H3898H3669H3427H2022H5045H821910And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba), and they defeated Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.H3063H3212H3669H3427H2275H8034H2275H6440H7153H5221H8344H289H852611From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. The name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher.H3212H3427H1688H8034H1688H6440H715812And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter for a wife."H3612H559H5221H7158H3920H5414H5915H1323H80213And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.H6274H1121H7073H3612H6996H251H3920H5414H5915H1323H80214When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"H935H5496H7592H1H7704H6795H2543H3612H55915She said to him, "Give me a blessing. Since you have set me in the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.H559H3051H1293H5414H5045H776H5414H1543H4325H3612H5414H5942H1543H8482H154316And the descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near Arad, and they went and settled with the people.H1121H7017H4872H2859H5927H5892H8558H5899H1121H3063H4057H3063H5045H6166H3212H3427H854H597117And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they defeated the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and devoted it to destruction. So the name of the city was called Hormah.H3063H3212H8095H251H5221H3669H3427H6857H2763H8034H5892H7121H276718Judah also captured Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.H3063H3920H5804H1366H831H1366H6138H136619And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.H3068H3063H3423H2022H3808H3423H3427H6010H7393H127020And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he drove out from it the three sons of Anak.H5414H2275H3612H4872H1696H3423H7969H1121H606121But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.H1121H1144H3423H2983H3427H3389H2983H3427H1121H1144H3389H311722The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.H1004H3130H5927H1008H306823And the house of Joseph scouted out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.)H1004H3130H8446H1008H8034H5892H6440H387024And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, "Please show us the way into the city, and we will deal kindly with you."H8104H7200H376H3318H5892H559H7200H3996H5892H6213H261725And he showed them the way into the city. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go.H7200H3996H5892H5221H5892H6310H2719H7971H376H494026And the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called its name Luz. That is its name to this day.H376H3212H776H2850H1129H5892H7121H8034H3870H8034H311727Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages, for the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.H4519H3423H1052H1323H8590H1323H3427H1756H1323H3427H2991H1323H3427H4023H1323H3669H2974H3427H77628When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not drive them out completely.H3478H2388H7760H3669H4522H3423H342329And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.H669H3423H3669H3427H1507H3669H3427H1507H713030Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them, but became subject to forced labor.H2074H3423H3427H7003H3427H5096H3669H3427H7130H452231Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon or of Ahlab or of Achzib or of Helbah or of Aphik or of Rehob,H836H3423H3427H5910H3427H6721H303H392H2462H663H734032so the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.H843H3427H7130H3669H3427H776H342333Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, so they lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor for them.H5321H3423H3427H1053H3427H1043H3427H7130H3669H3427H776H3427H1053H1043H452234The Amorites pressed the people of Dan back into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain.H567H3905H1121H1835H2022H5414H3381H601035The Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily on them, and they became subject to forced labor.H567H2974H3427H2022H2776H357H8169H3027H1004H3130H3513H452236And the border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.H1366H567H4608H4610H5553H4605
