After the death of Joshua, the Israelites
inquired
of the
LORD
, “
Who will
be
the
first
to
go up and
fight
for us against the Canaanites? ”
And
it
came
to
pass
after the death of Joshua, that
the children
of Israel
asked
of
Jehovah
, saying,
Who shall
go up for us first
against the Canaanites ,
to
fight
against
them
?
“
Judah shall go up ,”
answered
the
LORD.
“Indeed
, I have delivered the land into their
hands
. ”
And
Jehovah
said,
Judah shall go up :
behold
, I have delivered the land into his
hand
.
Then
the
men
of
Judah said to
their
brothers
the
Simeonites
, “
Come up with us
to
our
allotted
territory
, and
let
us
fight against the Canaanites .
And we
likewise will go with you
to
your
territory
. ”
So the
Simeonites
went with them
.
And
Judah said unto
Simeon
his
brother
, Come up with me
into
my
lot
, that
we
may
fight against the Canaanites ;
and I
likewise will go with thee
into
thy
lot
. So Simeon
went with him
.
When
Judah attacked,
the
LORD
delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands,
and they struck
down
ten thousand men at
Bezek
.
And
Judah went
up;
and
Jehovah
delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand:
and they smote
of
them
in
Bezek
ten thousand men.
And there
they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking
down
the Canaanites and Perizzites.
And they found Adoni-bezek in
Bezek;
and they
fought against him, and
they
smote
the Canaanites and the
Perizzites.
As
Adoni-bezek fled ,
they pursued him, seized
him, and cut off his thumbs and big
toes.
But
Adoni-bezek fled ;
and
they pursued after
him, and
caught
him, and cut off his thumbs and his
great
toes.
Then
Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy
kings with
their thumbs and big
toes cut off have
gathered the
scraps
under my table .
As I have done to
them
, so God has
repaid
me. ”
And they brought him to Jerusalem, where
he died.
And
Adoni-bezek said, Threescore
and
ten
kings ,
having
their thumbs and their
great
toes cut off ,
gathered `their
food'
under my table :
as I have done, so God hath
requited
me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and
he died there
.
Then
the men
of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured
it .
They
put
the city
to
the sword and set it
on fire.
And
the children
of Judah fought against Jerusalem ,
and took
it ,
and
smote
it
with
the edge
of
the sword ,
and set the
city
on fire.
Afterward ,
the men
of Judah marched
down to fight against the Canaanites living
in the hill country, in the Negev
, and in the foothills
.
And
afterward the children
of Judah went
down to fight against the Canaanites that
dwelt
in the hill -
country, and
in the South
, and in the lowland
.
Judah also
marched
against the Canaanites who
were
living
in Hebron ( formerly
known
as
Kiriath-arba) ,
and they struck
down
Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
And
Judah went
against the Canaanites that
dwelt
in Hebron ( now
the
name
of
Hebron
beforetime
was
Kiriath-arba) ;
and they smote
Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai.
From there
they
marched
against the inhabitants of Debir ( formerly
known
as
Kiriath-sepher )
.
And
from thence
he
went
against the inhabitants of Debir .
( Now
the
name
of
Debir
beforetime
was
Kiriath-sepher. )
And Caleb said, “To
the
man
who
strikes
down
Kiriath-sepher and captures
it, I
will give my daughter Acsah
in
marriage
. ”
And Caleb said, He
that
smiteth
Kiriath-sepher ,
and taketh
it, to
him
will I
give Achsah
my daughter to
wife
.
So
Othniel son of Caleb’s
younger brother Kenaz
captured
the
city
, and Caleb
gave his daughter Acsah
to him
in
marriage
.
And
Othniel the
son of Kenaz,
Caleb's
younger brother, took
it:
and he
gave him
Achsah
his daughter to wife
.
One
day
Acsah
came to Othniel
and
urged
him to ask her father for
a field .
When
she got
off her donkey,
Caleb asked
her, “
What do
you
desire
? ”
And
it
came to pass,
when
she
came
`unto
him ',
that
she
moved
him
to ask of
her father a field :
and
she alighted
from
off her ass;
and
Caleb said
unto
her, What wouldest
thou
?
“
Give me a blessing ,”
she
answered.
“Since
you
have
given
me land
in the Negev
, give me springs of water as
well
. ”
So
Caleb gave her both
the upper and lower
springs.
And
she
said
unto
him,
Give me a blessing ;
for
that
thou
hast
set
me in the land
of
the
South
, give me also
springs of water. And
Caleb gave her the upper springs
and the
nether
springs.
Now
the descendants
of Moses ’
father
-in-law, the
Kenite,
went up with
the
men
of Judah
from
the City of Palms
to
the Wilderness of Judah in the Negev
near
Arad .
They went to
live
among
the people.
And
the children
of the
Kenite,
Moses '
brother
-in-law, went up out
of the city of palm-trees
with
the children
of
Judah
into
the
wilderness of Judah ,
which
is
in the south
of
Arad ;
and
they went and
dwelt
with
the people.
Then
the
men
of
Judah went with their
brothers
the
Simeonites
, attacked
the Canaanites living
in
Zephath, and devoted
the city to
destruction.
So
it
was called Hormah.
And
Judah went with Simeon
his
brother
, and
they
smote
the Canaanites that
inhabited
Zephath, and utterly
destroyed
it.
And
the name
of
the
city was called Hormah.
And
Judah
also captured
Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron —each
with its
territory
.
Also Judah
took
Gaza with
the
border
thereof
, and
Ashkelon with
the
border
thereof
, and Ekron with the
border
thereof
.
The
LORD
was with Judah ,
and they
took
possession
of the hill country; but
they
could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains
because they had chariots of iron.
And
Jehovah
was with Judah ;
and drove
out
`the
inhabitants
of '
the hill -
country; for
he
could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley,
because they had chariots of iron.
Just
as
Moses
had
promised,
Judah
gave Hebron to
Caleb, who
drove out the
descendants
of
the three sons of Anak.
And
they
gave Hebron unto
Caleb, as
Moses
had
spoken:
and
he
drove out thence
the three sons of Anak.
The Benjamites,
however,
failed
to
drive out the Jebusites living
in
Jerusalem .
So
to
this
day
the Jebusites live
there
among
the Benjamites
.
And
the children
of
Benjamin
did
not
drive out the Jebusites that
inhabited
Jerusalem ;
but
the Jebusites dwell
with
the children
of
Benjamin
in
Jerusalem
unto
this
day
.
The house of Joseph also
attacked
Bethel
, and the
LORD
was with them.
And
the house of Joseph, they
also
went
up
against
Beth-el;
and Jehovah
was with them.
They
sent spies
to Bethel
( formerly
known
as
Luz) ,
And
the
house
of
Joseph
sent to spy
out
Beth-el.
( Now
the
name
of
the
city
beforetime
was
Luz .
)
and when
the spies
saw a man coming
out of the city, they said to
him, “Please
show us how
to
get
into the city, and we will treat
you
kindly. ”
And the watchers
saw a man come
forth
out of the city, and
they said unto
him, Show us ,
we
pray
thee,
the
entrance
into the city, and we will deal
kindly with
thee
.
So
the
man
showed them the entrance to
the city ,
and they put
the city to
the sword but released
that
man and all his family.
And
he
showed them the entrance into
the city ;
and they smote
the city with
the edge
of
the
sword ;
but they
let
the
man go
and all his family.
And the man went to
the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it
Luz, which is its
name to
this day.
And the man went into
the land of the Hittites, and
built a city, and called the
name
thereof
Luz, which is the
name thereof
unto
this day.
At
that
time
Manasseh failed
to
drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo ,
and their
villages
; for
the Canaanites were
determined
to
dwell in that land.
And
Manasseh did
not
drive out `
the inhabitants of '
Beth-shean and
its
towns
, nor
`of'
Taanach and
its
towns
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Dor and
its
towns
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Ibleam and
its
towns
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo and its
towns
; but
the Canaanites would
dwell in that land.
When Israel became
stronger
, they pressed
the Canaanites into
forced
labor
, but
they
never
drove
them out completely
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when Israel was
waxed
strong
, that
they put
the Canaanites to
taskwork
, and
did
not
utterly
drive
them out.
Ephraim also
failed
to
drive
out the Canaanites living
in Gezer; so
the Canaanites continued
to
dwell
among
them
in Gezer.
And
Ephraim drove
not
out the Canaanites that
dwelt
in Gezer; but
the Canaanites dwelt
in Gezer among
them
.
Zebulun failed
to
drive
out the inhabitants of Kitron and
Nahalol; so
the Canaanites lived
among them and served
as
forced
laborers
.
Zebulun drove
not
out the inhabitants of Kitron ,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol; but
the Canaanites dwelt
among them ,
and became
subject
to
taskwork
.
Asher failed
to
drive
out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and
Rehob .
Asher drove
not
out the inhabitants of Acco, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Sidon, nor
of
Ahlab, nor
of
Achzib, nor
of
Helbah, nor
of
Aphik, nor
of
Rehob ;
So
the Asherites lived
among the Canaanite
inhabitants of the land ,
because
they did not drive them out.
but
the Asherites dwelt
among the Canaanites,
the
inhabitants of the land ;
for
they did not drive them out.
Naphtali failed
to
drive
out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and
Beth-anath .
So
the
Naphtalites
also
lived
among the Canaanite
inhabitants of the land ,
but
the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served
them
as
forced
laborers
.
Naphtali drove
not
out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh ,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-anath ;
but
he
dwelt
among the Canaanites,
the
inhabitants of the land :
nevertheless
the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of
Beth-anath became
subject
to
taskwork
.
The Amorites forced the Danites
into the hill country and
did
not allow
them to come down into
the plain.
And
the Amorites forced the children
of
Dan
into the hill -
country ;
for
they
would
not suffer
them to come down to
the valley;
And
the Amorites were
determined
to
dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim .
But
when
the house of Joseph grew
in
strength
, they pressed
the
Amorites
into
forced
labor
.
but
the Amorites would
dwell in mount Heres, in
Aijalon, and in
Shaalbim :
yet
the hand
of
the
house of Joseph prevailed
, so
that
they became
subject
to
taskwork
.
And the border of the Amorites extended
from the Ascent of Akrabbim to
Sela
and beyond
.
And the border of the Amorites was
from the ascent of Akrabbim ,
from
the
rock,
and upward
.
