YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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
cometh
to
pass,
after the death of Joshua, that
the sons
of Israel
ask
at
Jehovah
, saying,
`
Who doth
go up for us unto
the Canaanite,
at
the
commencement,
to
fight
against
it
? '
“
Judah shall
go up ,”
answered
the
LORD.
“Indeed
, I have delivered
the land into their
hands
. ”
And
Jehovah
saith,
`
Judah doth
go up ;
lo
, I have given
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 saith
to Simeon
his
brother
, `Go
up with me
into
my
lot
, and we
fight against the Canaanite
--
and I
have
gone,
even
I,
with thee
into
thy
lot;'
and
Simeon
goeth
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 goeth
up
, and
Jehovah
giveth
the Canaanite
and the
Perizzite
into their hand
, and they smite
them
in
Bezek
--
ten thousand men ;
And there
they found
Adoni-bezek and fought
against him, striking
down
the Canaanites
and Perizzites
.
and they find
Adoni-Bezek in
Bezek,
and fight
against him, and
smite
the Canaanite
and the
Perizzite
.
As
Adoni-bezek fled
, they pursued
him, seized
him, and cut off his thumbs and big
toes .
And
Adoni-Bezek fleeth
, and
they pursue
after
him, and
seize
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 saith
, `
Seventy kings --
their thumbs and their
great
toes cut off --
have been
gathering
under my table ;
as I have done so hath
God repaid to
me ;'
and they bring
him in
to Jerusalem, and
he dieth
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 sons
of Judah fight
against Jerusalem ,
and capture
it ,
and
smite
it
by
the mouth
of
the sword ,
and the
city
they
have
sent
into
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
afterwards
have
the sons
of Judah gone
down to fight against the Canaanite,
inhabiting
the hill -
country, and
the south
, and the low
country;
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 goeth
unto
the Canaanite
who is
dwelling
in Hebron ( and
the
name
of
Hebron
formerly `is'
Kirjath
-Arba), and they smite
Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai.
From
there
they
marched
against
the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known
as
Kiriath
-sepher) .
And
he
goeth
thence
unto
the inhabitants of Debir ( and
the
name
of
Debir
formerly `is'
Kirjath
-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 saith
, `He
who smiteth
Kirjath
-Sepher --
and hath
captured
it --
then
I have
given
to
him
Achsah
my daughter for
a
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 son of Kenaz,
younger brother of
Caleb
, doth
capture
it,
and he
giveth
to him Achsah
his
daughter
for
a
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
cometh
to
pass
in
her
coming
in,
that
she
persuadeth
him to ask from
her father the
field ,
and
she lighteth
from
off the
ass
, and
Caleb saith
to
her, `
What --
to
thee
? '
“
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
saith
to
him,
`
Give to
me a blessing ;
when
the
south
land
thou
hast
given me --
then
thou
hast
given
to
me springs of water ;
and
Caleb giveth
to
her the upper springs
and the
lower 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 sons
of the
Kenite,
father-in-law of
Moses
, have
gone
up out
of the city of palms with
the
sons
of
Judah
`
to '
the wilderness of Judah ,
which
`is'
in the south
of
Arad ,
and
they go
and
dwell
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 goeth
with Simeon
his
brother
, and
they
smite
the Canaanite
inhabiting
Zephath, and devote
it;
and
`one'
calleth
the name
of
the
city Hormah.
And Judah also
captured
Gaza, Ashkelon
, and Ekron —each
with
its territory.
And Judah captureth
Gaza and
its
border
, and
Askelon
and
its
border
, and Ekron and
its border;
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
is
with Judah, and he
occupieth
the hill -
country ,
but not to
dispossess
the inhabitants of the valley,
for
they have
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
give
to Caleb Hebron
, as
Moses
hath
spoken,
and
he
dispossesseth
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 Jebusite
, inhabiting
Jerusalem
, the sons
of
Benjamin
have
not
dispossessed;
and
the
Jebusite
dwelleth
with
the
sons
of
Benjamin,
in Jerusalem ,
till
this day.
The house of Joseph also
attacked
Bethel
, and the
LORD
was
with them .
And
the house of Joseph go
up
--
even
they
--
to
Beth-El
, and Jehovah
`is'
with them ;
They
sent
spies
to Bethel
(formerly known
as
Luz),
and
the
house
of
Joseph
cause
`men'
to spy
about
Beth-El
( and
the
name
of
the
city
formerly is
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
see
a man coming out from
the city, and
say
to him, `Shew
us ,
we
pray
thee,
the entrance
of
the
city, and we have
done
with
thee
kindness
. '
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
sheweth
them the entrance of
the city, and they smite
the city by
the mouth
of
the
sword ,
and
the
man and all his family they
have
sent
away;
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 goeth
to the land of the Hittites, and
buildeth
a city, and calleth
its
name
Luz --
it
`
is '
its name 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 hath
not
occupied
Beth-Shean and
its
towns
, and
Taanach and
its
towns
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Dor and
its
towns
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Iblaim
and
its
towns
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo and
its
towns
, and the Canaanite
is
desirous
to dwell in that land ;
When Israel became
stronger
, they
pressed
the Canaanites
into
forced
labor
, but
they
never
drove
them
out
completely
.
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
when Israel hath
been
strong
, that
he
setteth
the Canaanite
to
tribute
, and
hath
not
utterly
dispossessed
it
.
Ephraim also
failed
to
drive
out
the Canaanites
living
in Gezer ;
so
the Canaanites
continued
to
dwell
among
them
in Gezer.
And
Ephraim hath
not
dispossessed
the Canaanite
who
is
dwelling
in Gezer ,
and
the Canaanite
dwelleth
in its
midst,
in
Gezer.
Zebulun failed
to
drive
out
the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol ;
so
the Canaanites
lived
among
them
and served
as
forced
laborers
.
Zebulun hath
not
dispossessed
the inhabitants of Kitron ,
and the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol ,
and
the Canaanite
dwelleth
in
its
midst,
and they
become
tributary
.
Asher failed
to
drive
out
the inhabitants of Acco
, Sidon
, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob .
Asher hath
not
dispossessed
the inhabitants of Accho
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Zidon
, and
Ahlab, and
Achzib, and
Helbah, and
Aphik, and Rehob ;
So
the Asherites
lived
among
the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because
they
did
not drive
them out
.
and
the Asherite
dwelleth
in
the midst
of
the
Canaanite ,
the
inhabitants of the land, for
it
hath
not dispossessed
them.
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 hath
not
dispossessed
the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh ,
and the
inhabitants
of
Beth-Anath ,
and
he
dwelleth
in
the midst
of
the Canaanite ,
the
inhabitants of the land ;
and
the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of
Beth-Anath have
become
tributary
to
them.
The Amorites forced
the Danites
into
the hill
country
and
did
not allow
them to come
down into
the plain.
And
the Amorites press
the sons
of
Dan
to
the mountain,
for
they
have
not suffered
them to go
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.
and the Amorite
is
desirous
to dwell in mount Heres, in
Aijalon, and in
Shaalbim ,
and
the hand
of
the
house of Joseph is
heavy
, and
they become
tributary;
And the border of the Amorites
extended
from the Ascent of Akrabbim to
Sela
and beyond
.
and the border of the Amorite
`is'
from the ascent of Akrabbim ,
from
the
rock
and upward
.
