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? ”
Yahweh
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
. ”
Judah said to Simeon
his
brother
, Come up with me
into
my
lot
, that
we
may
fight against the Canaanites ;
and I
likewise will go with you into
your 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
.
Judah went
up;
and
Yahweh
delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand:
and they struck of
them
in
Bezek
ten thousand men.
When

LORD
delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands,
and they struck down
ten thousand men at

fought against him, and
they
struck
the Canaanites and the
Perizzites.
And

they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking
down
the Canaanites and Perizzites.

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.
Adoni-bezek said, "
Seventy kings ,
having
their thumbs and their
great
toes cut off ,
gathered [their
food]
under my table :
as I have done, so God has requited
me. "
They brought him to Jerusalem, and
he died there
.
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.

which

drive out the Canaanites who
lived
in Gezer; but
the Canaanites lived

the Canaanites continued
to
dwell
among them in
Gezer
.
Zebulun didn't
drive out the inhabitants of Kitron ,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol; but
the Canaanites lived among them ,

Rehob .
but
the Asherites lived 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.
Naphtali didn't
drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh ,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Beth Anath ;
but
he
lived among the Canaanites,
the
inhabitants of the land :
nevertheless
the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of
Beth Anath became
subject
to
forced labor
.
Naphtali failed
to
drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and
Beth -
anath .

anath served
them
as
forced laborers
.

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
subject
to
forced labor.
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.
The border of the Amorites was
from the ascent of Akrabbim ,
from
the
rock,
and upward
.
And
the border of the Amorites extended
from the Ascent of Akrabbim to
Sela
and beyond
.
