Berean Standard Bible
Now
after the death of Joshua it
came
to
pass
, that
the children
of Israel
asked
the LORD, saying,
Who shall
go up for us against the Canaanites first,
to
fight
against
them
?
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
the
LORD
said,
Judah shall go up :
behold
, I have delivered the land into his
hand
.
“
Judah shall go up, ”
answered
the
LORD.
“Indeed,
I have delivered the land into their
hands
. ”
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
.
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 went
up;
and
the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand:
and they slew
of
them
in
Bezek
ten thousand men.
When
Judah attacked,
the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands,
and they struck
down
ten thousand men at
Bezek
.
And they found Adonibezek
in
Bezek :
and they
fought against him, and
they
slew
the Canaanites and the
Perizzites.
And there
they found Adoni-
bezek and fought against him, striking
down
the Canaanites and Perizzites.
But
Adonibezek
fled ;
and
they pursued after
him, and
caught
him, and cut off his thumbs and his
great
toes.
As
Adoni-bezek
fled ,
they pursued him, seized
him, and cut off his thumbs and big
toes.
And
Adonibezek
said, Threescore
and
ten
kings ,
having
their thumbs and their
great
toes cut off ,
gathered their
meat
under my table :
as I have done, so God hath
requited
me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and
there
he died.
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.
Now
the children
of Judah had
fought against Jerusalem ,
and had
taken
it,
and
smitten
it with
the edge
of
the sword ,
and set the
city
on fire.
Then
the men
of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured
it .
They
put
the city
to
the sword and set it
on fire.
And
afterward the children
of Judah went
down to fight against the Canaanites ,
that
dwelt
in the mountain
, and
in the south
, and in the valley
.
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
Judah went
against the Canaanites that
dwelt
in Hebron :
( now
the
name
of
Hebron
before
was
Kirjatharba:
) and they slew
Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai.
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
from thence
he
went
against the inhabitants of Debir :
and
the
name
of
Debir
before
was
Kirjathsepher:
From there
they
marched
against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly
known
as
Kiriath-sepher).
And Caleb said, He
that
smiteth
Kirjathsepher,
and taketh
it, to
him
will
I give Achsah
my daughter to
wife
.
And Caleb said, “To
the
man
who
strikes
down
Kiriath-sepher
and captures
it, I will
give my daughter Acsah
in
marriage
. ”
And
Othniel the
son of Kenaz,
Caleb's
younger brother, took
it:
and he
gave him
Achsah
his 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
it
came
to
pass,
when
she
came to him,
that
she
moved
him to ask of
her father a field :
and
she lighted
from
off her ass;
and
Caleb said
unto
her, What wilt
thou
?
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
she
said
unto
him,
Give me a blessing :
for
thou
hast
given me a
south
land ;
give me also
springs of water. And
Caleb gave her the upper springs
and the
nether
springs.
“
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
the children
of the
Kenite,
Moses '
father in law, went up out
of
the
city
of
palm
trees
with the children
of Judah into
the wilderness of Judah ,
which
lieth
in the south
of
Arad ;
and
they went and
dwelt
among the people.
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
Judah went with Simeon
his
brother
, and
they
slew
the Canaanites that
inhabited
Zephath, and utterly
destroyed
it.
And
the
name
of
the city was called Hormah.
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.
Also
Judah took
Gaza with
the
coast
thereof
, and
Askelon
with
the
coast
thereof
, and Ekron with the
coast
thereof
.
And
Judah also
captured
Gaza, Ashkelon
, and Ekron —each
with its
territory
.
And
the LORD was with Judah ;
and he
drave
out
the
inhabitants
of the mountain
; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley,
because they had chariots of iron.
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
they
gave Hebron unto
Caleb, as
Moses
said:
and
he
expelled
thence
the three sons of Anak.
Just
as
Moses
had
promised,
Judah
gave Hebron to
Caleb, who
drove
out
the descendants
of
the
three sons of Anak.
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 Benjamites,
however,
failed
to
drive out the Jebusites living
in Jerusalem .
So
to
this day the
Jebusites
live
there
among
the
Benjamites
.
And
the house of Joseph ,
they
also went
up
against
Bethel :
and the LORD was with them.
The house of Joseph also attacked
Bethel ,
and the LORD was with them.
And
the
house
of
Joseph
sent to descry
Bethel .
( Now
the
name
of
the
city
before
was
Luz .
)
They
sent spies
to Bethel ( formerly
known
as
Luz) ,
And the spies 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 show
thee
mercy
.
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
when
he
showed them the entrance into
the city, they smote
the city with
the
edge
of
the sword ;
but they
let
go
the
man and all his family.
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 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.
And the man went to
the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it
Luz ,
which is its
name to
this day.
Neither
did
Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean
and
her
towns
, nor
Taanach and
her
towns
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Dor and
her
towns
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Ibleam and
her
towns
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo and her
towns:
but
the Canaanites would
dwell in that land.
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
it
came
to
pass,
when Israel was
strong
, that
they put
the Canaanites to
tribute
, and
did
not
utterly
drive
them out.
When Israel became
stronger
, they pressed
the Canaanites into
forced
labor
, but
they
never
drove
them out completely
.
Neither
did
Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that
dwelt
in Gezer; but
the Canaanites dwelt
in
Gezer
among them.
Ephraim also
failed
to
drive out the Canaanites living
in Gezer; so
the Canaanites continued
to
dwell
among them in
Gezer
.
Neither
did
Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron ,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol; but
the Canaanites dwelt
among them ,
and became
tributaries
.
Zebulun failed
to
drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and
Nahalol; so
the Canaanites lived
among them and served
as
forced
laborers
.
Neither
did
Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho
, nor
the
inhabitants
of
Zidon
, nor
of
Ahlab, nor
of
Achzib, nor
of
Helbah, nor
of
Aphik, nor
of
Rehob :
Asher failed
to
drive out the inhabitants of Acco
, Sidon
, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and
Rehob .
But
the Asherites dwelt
among the Canaanites,
the
inhabitants of the land :
for
they did not drive them out.
So
the Asherites lived
among the Canaanite
inhabitants of the land ,
because
they did not drive them out.
Neither
did
Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh,
nor
the inhabitants
of
Bethanath;
but
he
dwelt
among the Canaanites,
the
inhabitants of the land :
nevertheless
the inhabitants of Bethshemesh
and of
Bethanath
became
tributaries
unto
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
.
And
the Amorites forced the children
of
Dan
into the mountain:
for
they
would
not suffer
them to come down to
the valley:
The Amorites forced the Danites
into the hill
country
and
did
not allow
them to come down into
the plain.
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
tributaries
.
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 coast
of the Amorites was
from the going
up
to
Akrabbim ,
from
the
rock,
and upward
.
And the border
of the Amorites extended
from the Ascent
of
Akrabbim to
Sela
and beyond
.
