1
Now after[H310] the death[H4194] of Joshua[H3091] it came to pass, that the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]asked[H7592] the LORD[H3068], saying[H559], Who shall go up[H5927] for us against the Canaanites[H3669]first[H8462], to fight[H3898] against them?
2
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559], Judah[H3063] shall go up[H5927]: behold, I have delivered[H5414] the land[H776] into his hand[H3027].
3
And Judah[H3063]said[H559] unto Simeon[H8095] his brother[H251], Come up[H5927] with me into my lot[H1486], that we may fight[H3898] against the Canaanites[H3669]; and I likewise will go[H1980] with thee into thy lot[H1486]. So Simeon[H8095]went[H3212] with him.
4
And Judah[H3063] went up[H5927]; and the LORD[H3068]delivered[H5414] the Canaanites[H3669] and the Perizzites[H6522] into their hand[H3027]: and they slew[H5221] of them in Bezek[H966]ten[H6235]thousand[H505]men[H376].
5
And they found[H4672]Adonibezek[H137] in Bezek[H966]: and they fought[H3898] against him, and they slew[H5221] the Canaanites[H3669] and the Perizzites[H6522].
6
But Adonibezek[H137]fled[H5127]; and they pursued[H7291]after[H310] him, and caught[H270] him, and cut off[H7112] his thumbs[H931] and his great toes[H7272].
7
And Adonibezek[H137]said[H559], Threescore and ten[H7657]kings[H4428], having their thumbs[H931] and their great toes[H7272] cut off[H7112], gathered[H3950] their meat under my table[H7979]: as I have done[H6213], so God[H430] hath requited[H7999] me. And they brought[H935] him to Jerusalem[H3389], and there he died[H4191].
8
Now the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] had fought[H3898] against Jerusalem[H3389], and had taken[H3920] it, and smitten[H5221] it with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], and set[H7971] the city[H5892] on fire[H784].
9
And afterward[H310] the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] went down[H3381] to fight[H3898] against the Canaanites[H3669], that dwelt[H3427] in the mountain[H2022], and in the south[H5045], and in the valley[H8219].
10
And Judah[H3063]went[H3212] against the Canaanites[H3669] that dwelt[H3427] in Hebron[H2275]:(now the name[H8034] of Hebron[H2275]before[H6440] was Kirjatharba[H7153]:) and they slew[H5221]Sheshai[H8344], and Ahiman[H289], and Talmai[H8526].
11
And from thence he went[H3212] against the inhabitants[H3427] of Debir[H1688]: and the name[H8034] of Debir[H1688]before[H6440] was Kirjathsepher[H7158]:
12
And Caleb[H3612]said[H559], He that smiteth[H5221]Kirjathsepher[H7158], and taketh[H3920] it, to him will I give[H5414]Achsah[H5915] my daughter[H1323] to wife[H802].
13
And Othniel[H6274] the son[H1121] of Kenaz[H7073], Caleb's younger[H6996]brother[H251], took[H3920] it: and he gave[H5414] him Achsah[H5915] his daughter[H1323] to wife[H802].
14
And it came[H935] to pass, when she came[H935] to him, that she moved[H5496] him to ask[H7592] of her father[H1] a field[H7704]: and she lighted[H6795] from off her ass[H2543]; and Caleb[H3612]said[H559] unto her, What wilt thou?
15
And she said[H559] unto him, Give[H3051] me a blessing[H1293]: for thou hast given[H5414] me a south[H5045]land[H776]; give[H5414] me also springs[H1543] of water[H4325]. And Caleb[H3612]gave[H5414] her the upper[H5942]springs[H1543] and the nether[H8482]springs[H1543].
16
And the children[H1121] of the Kenite[H7017], Moses[H4872]' father in law[H2859], went[H3212]up[H5927] out of the city[H5892] of palm trees[H8558] with the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] into the wilderness[H4057] of Judah[H3063], which lieth in the south[H5045] of Arad[H6166]; and they went[H3212] and dwelt[H3427]among[H854] the people[H5971].
17
And Judah[H3063]went[H3212] with Simeon[H8095] his brother[H251], and they slew[H5221] the Canaanites[H3669] that inhabited[H3427]Zephath[H6857], and utterly destroyed[H2763] it. And the name[H8034] of the city[H5892] was called[H7121]Hormah[H2767].
18
Also Judah[H3063]took[H3920]Gaza[H5804] with the coast[H1366] thereof, and Askelon[H831] with the coast[H1366] thereof, and Ekron[H6138] with the coast[H1366] thereof.
19
And the LORD[H3068] was with Judah[H3063]; and he drave out[H3423] the inhabitants[H3427] of the mountain[H2022]; but could not[H3808] drive out[H3423] the inhabitants[H3427] of the valley[H6010], because they had chariots[H7393] of iron[H1270].
20
And they gave[H5414]Hebron[H2275] unto Caleb[H3612], as Moses[H4872]said[H1696]: and he expelled[H3423] thence the three[H7969]sons[H1121] of Anak[H6061].
21
And the children[H1121] of Benjamin[H1144] did not drive out[H3423] the Jebusites[H2983] that inhabited[H3427]Jerusalem[H3389]; but the Jebusites[H2983]dwell[H3427] with the children[H1121] of Benjamin[H1144] in Jerusalem[H3389] unto this day[H3117].
22
And the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130], they also went up[H5927] against Bethel[H1008]: and the LORD[H3068] was with them.
23
And the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130] sent to descry[H8446] Bethel.(Now the name[H8034] of the city[H5892]before[H6440] was Luz[H3870].)
24
And the spies[H8104]saw[H7200] a man[H376] come forth[H3318] out of the city[H5892], and they said[H559] unto him, Shew[H7200] us, we pray thee, the entrance[H3996] into the city[H5892], and we will shew[H6213] thee mercy[H2617].
25
And when he shewed[H7200] them the entrance[H3996] into the city[H5892], they smote[H5221] the city[H5892] with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719]; but they let go[H7971] the man[H376] and all his family[H4940].
26
And the man[H376]went[H3212] into the land[H776] of the Hittites[H2850], and built[H1129] a city[H5892], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] thereof Luz[H3870]: which is the name[H8034] thereof unto this day[H3117].
27
Neither did Manasseh[H4519] drive out[H3423] the inhabitants[H3427] of Bethshean[H1052] and her towns[H1323], nor Taanach[H8590] and her towns[H1323], nor the inhabitants[H3427] of Dor[H1756] and her towns[H1323], nor the inhabitants[H3427] of Ibleam[H2991] and her towns[H1323], nor the inhabitants[H3427] of Megiddo[H4023] and her towns[H1323]: but the Canaanites[H3669]would[H2974]dwell[H3427] in that land[H776].
28
And it came to pass, when Israel[H3478] was strong[H2388], that they put[H7760] the Canaanites[H3669] to tribute[H4522], and did not utterly[H3423] drive them out[H3423].
29
Neither did Ephraim[H669] drive out[H3423] the Canaanites[H3669] that dwelt[H3427] in Gezer[H1507]; but the Canaanites[H3669]dwelt[H3427] in Gezer[H1507]among[H7130] them.
30
Neither did Zebulun[H2074] drive out[H3423] the inhabitants[H3427] of Kitron[H7003], nor the inhabitants[H3427] of Nahalol[H5096]; but the Canaanites[H3669]dwelt[H3427]among[H7130] them, and became tributaries[H4522].
31
Neither did Asher[H836] drive out[H3423] the inhabitants[H3427] of Accho[H5910], nor the inhabitants[H3427] of Zidon[H6721], nor of Ahlab[H303], nor of Achzib[H392], nor of Helbah[H2462], nor of Aphik[H663], nor of Rehob[H7340]:
32
But the Asherites[H843]dwelt[H3427]among[H7130] the Canaanites[H3669], the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776]: for they did not drive them out[H3423].
33
Neither did Naphtali[H5321] drive out[H3423] the inhabitants[H3427] of Bethshemesh[H1053], nor the inhabitants[H3427] of Bethanath[H1043]; but he dwelt[H3427]among[H7130] the Canaanites[H3669], the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776]: nevertheless the inhabitants[H3427] of Bethshemesh[H1053] and of Bethanath[H1043] became tributaries[H4522] unto them.
34
And the Amorites[H567]forced[H3905] the children[H1121] of Dan[H1835] into the mountain[H2022]: for they would not suffer[H5414] them to come down[H3381] to the valley[H6010]:
35
But the Amorites[H567]would[H2974]dwell[H3427] in mount[H2022]Heres[H2776] in Aijalon[H357], and in Shaalbim[H8169]: yet the hand[H3027] of the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130]prevailed[H3513], so that they became tributaries[H4522].
36
And the coast[H1366] of the Amorites[H567] was from the going up[H4608] to Akrabbim[H4610], from the rock[H5553], and upward[H4605].
