1 # Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Joshua <03091> it came to pass, that the children <01121> of Israel <03478> asked <07592> (8799) the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800), Who shall go up <05927> (8799) for us against the Canaanites <03669> first <08462>, to fight <03898> (8736) against them?
2 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), Judah <03063> shall go up <05927> (8799): behold, I have delivered <05414> (8804) the land <0776> into his hand <03027>.
3 And Judah <03063> said <0559> (8799) unto Simeon <08095> his brother <0251>, Come up <05927> (8798) with me into my lot <01486>, that we may fight <03898> (8735) against the Canaanites <03669>; and I likewise will go <01980> (8804) with thee into thy lot <01486>. So Simeon <08095> went <03212> (8799) with him.
4 And Judah <03063> went up <05927> (8799); and the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8799) the Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522> into their hand <03027>: and they slew <05221> (8686) of them in Bezek <0966> ten <06235> thousand <0505> men <0376>.
5 And they found <04672> (8799) Adonibezek <0137> in Bezek <0966>: and they fought <03898> (8735) against him, and they slew <05221> (8686) the Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522>.
6 But Adonibezek <0137> fled <05127> (8799); and they pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310> him, and caught <0270> (8799) him, and cut off <07112> (8762) his thumbs <0931> <03027> and his great toes <07272>.
7 And Adonibezek <0137> said <0559> (8799), Threescore and ten <07657> kings <04428>, having their thumbs <0931> <03027> and their great toes <07272> cut off <07112> (8794), gathered <03950> (8764) their meat under my table <07979>: as I have done <06213> (8804), so God <0430> hath requited <07999> (8765) me. And they brought <0935> (8686) him to Jerusalem <03389>, and there he died <04191> (8799).
8 Now the children <01121> of Judah <03063> had fought <03898> (8735) against Jerusalem <03389>, and had taken <03920> (8799) it, and smitten <05221> (8686) it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and set <07971> (8765) the city <05892> on fire <0784>.
9 # And afterward <0310> the children <01121> of Judah <03063> went down <03381> (8804) to fight <03898> (8736) against the Canaanites <03669>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the mountain <02022>, and in the south <05045>, and in the valley <08219>.
10 And Judah <03063> went <03212> (8799) against the Canaanites <03669> that dwelt <03427> (8802) in Hebron <02275>: (now the name <08034> of Hebron <02275> before <06440> was Kirjatharba <07153>:) and they slew <05221> (8686) Sheshai <08344>, and Ahiman <0289>, and Talmai <08526>.
11 And from thence he went <03212> (8799) against the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Debir <01688>: and the name <08034> of Debir <01688> before <06440> was Kirjathsepher <07158>:
12 And Caleb <03612> said <0559> (8799), He that smiteth <05221> (8686) Kirjathsepher <07158>, and taketh <03920> (8804) it, to him will I give <05414> (8804) Achsah <05915> my daughter <01323> to wife <0802>.
13 And Othniel <06274> the son <01121> of Kenaz <07073>, Caleb's <03612> younger <06996> brother <0251> , took <03920> (8799) it: and he gave <05414> (8799) him Achsah <05915> his daughter <01323> to wife <0802>.
14 And it came to pass, when she came <0935> (8800) to him, that she moved <05496> (8686) him to ask <07592> (8800) of her father <01> a field <07704>: and she lighted <06795> (8799) from off her ass <02543>; and Caleb <03612> said <0559> (8799) unto her, What wilt thou?
15 And she said <0559> (8799) unto him, Give <03051> (8798) me a blessing <01293>: for thou hast given <05414> (8804) me a south <05045> land <0776>; give <05414> (8804) me also springs <01543> of water <04325>. And Caleb <03612> gave <05414> (8799) her the upper <05942> springs <01543> and the nether <08482> springs <01543>.
16 And the children <01121> of the Kenite <07017>, Moses <04872>' father in law <02859> (8802), went up <05927> (8804) out of the city <05892> of palm trees <08558> (8677) <05899> with the children <01121> of Judah <03063> into the wilderness <04057> of Judah <03063>, which lieth in the south <05045> of Arad <06166>; and they went <03212> (8799) and dwelt <03427> (8799) among <0854> the people <05971>.
17 And Judah <03063> went <03212> (8799) with Simeon <08095> his brother <0251>, and they slew <05221> (8686) the Canaanites <03669> that inhabited <03427> (8802) Zephath <06857>, and utterly destroyed <02763> (8686) it. And the name <08034> of the city <05892> was called <07121> (8799) Hormah <02767>.
18 Also Judah <03063> took <03920> (8799) Gaza <05804> with the coast <01366> thereof, and Askelon <0831> with the coast <01366> thereof, and Ekron <06138> with the coast <01366> thereof.
19 And the LORD <03068> was with Judah <03063>; and he drave out <03423> (8686) the inhabitants of the mountain <02022>; but could not <03808> drive out <03423> (8687) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the valley <06010>, because they had chariots <07393> of iron <01270>.
20 And they gave <05414> (8799) Hebron <02275> unto Caleb <03612>, as Moses <04872> said <01696> (8765): and he expelled <03423> (8686) thence the three <07969> sons <01121> of Anak <06061>.
21 # And the children <01121> of Benjamin <01144> did not drive out <03423> (8689) the Jebusites <02983> that inhabited <03427> (8802) Jerusalem <03389>; but the Jebusites <02983> dwell <03427> (8799) with the children <01121> of Benjamin <01144> in Jerusalem <03389> unto this day <03117>.
22 And the house <01004> of Joseph <03130>, they also went up <05927> (8799) against Bethel <01008>: and the LORD <03068> was with them.
23 And the house <01004> of Joseph <03130> sent to descry <08446> (8686) Bethel <01008>. (Now the name <08034> of the city <05892> before <06440> was Luz <03870>.)
24 And the spies <08104> (8802) saw <07200> (8799) a man <0376> come forth <03318> (8802) out of the city <05892>, and they said <0559> (8799) unto him, Shew <07200> (8685) us, we pray thee, the entrance <03996> into the city <05892>, and we will shew <06213> (8804) thee mercy <02617>.
25 And when he shewed <07200> (8686) them the entrance <03996> into the city <05892>, they smote <05221> (8686) the city <05892> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>; but they let go <07971> (8765) the man <0376> and all his family <04940>.
26 And the man <0376> went <03212> (8799) into the land <0776> of the Hittites <02850>, and built <01129> (8799) a city <05892>, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> thereof Luz <03870>: which is the name <08034> thereof unto this day <03117>.
27 Neither did Manasseh <04519> drive out <03423> (8689) the inhabitants of Bethshean <01052> and her towns <01323> , nor Taanach <08590> and her towns <01323>, nor the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Dor <01756> and her towns <01323> , nor the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Ibleam <02991> and her towns <01323>, nor the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Megiddo <04023> and her towns <01323>: but the Canaanites <03669> would <02974> (8686) dwell <03427> (8800) in that land <0776>.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel <03478> was strong <02388> (8804), that they put <07760> (8799) the Canaanites <03669> to tribute <04522>, and did not utterly <03423> (8687) drive them out <03423> (8689).
29 Neither did Ephraim <0669> drive out <03423> (8689) the Canaanites <03669> that dwelt <03427> (8802) in Gezer <01507>; but the Canaanites <03669> dwelt <03427> (8799) in Gezer <01507> among <07130> them.
30 Neither did Zebulun <02074> drive out <03423> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Kitron <07003> , nor the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Nahalol <05096>; but the Canaanites <03669> dwelt <03427> (8799) among <07130> them, and became tributaries <04522>.
31 Neither did Asher <0836> drive out <03423> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Accho <05910> , nor the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Zidon <06721>, nor of Ahlab <0303>, nor of Achzib <0392>, nor of Helbah <02462>, nor of Aphik <0663>, nor of Rehob <07340>:
32 But the Asherites <0843> dwelt <03427> (8799) among <07130> the Canaanites <03669>, the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>: for they did not drive them out <03423> (8689).
33 Neither did Naphtali <05321> drive out <03423> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Bethshemesh <01053> , nor the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Bethanath <01043>; but he dwelt <03427> (8799) among <07130> the Canaanites <03669>, the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>: nevertheless the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Bethshemesh <01053> and of Bethanath <01043> became tributaries <04522> unto them.
34 And the Amorites <0567> forced <03905> (8799) the children <01121> of Dan <01835> into the mountain <02022> : for they would not suffer <05414> (8804) them to come down <03381> (8800) to the valley <06010>:
35 But the Amorites <0567> would <02974> (8686) dwell <03427> (8800) in mount <02022> Heres <02776> in Aijalon <0357>, and in Shaalbim <08169>: yet the hand <03027> of the house <01004> of Joseph <03130> prevailed <03513> (8799), so that they became tributaries <04522>.
36 And the coast <01366> of the Amorites <0567> was from the going up <04608> to Akrabbim <04610>, from the rock <05553>, and upward <04605>.
