And it came to pass after{H310} the death{H4194} of Joshua,{H3091} that the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} asked{H7592} of Jehovah,{H3068} saying,{H559} Who shall go up{H5927} for us first{H8462} against the Canaanites,{H3669} to fight{H3898} against them?

And Jehovah{H3068} said,{H559} Judah{H3063} shall go up:{H5927} behold, I have delivered{H5414} the land{H776} into his hand.{H3027}

And Judah{H3063} said{H559} unto Simeon{H8095} his brother,{H251} Come up{H5927} with me into my lot,{H1486} that we may fight{H3898} against the Canaanites;{H3669} and I likewise will go{H1980} with thee into thy lot.{H1486} So Simeon{H8095} went{H3212} with him.

And Judah{H3063} went up;{H5927} and Jehovah{H3068} delivered{H5414} the Canaanites{H3669} and the Perizzites{H6522} into their hand:{H3027} and they smote{H5221} of them in Bezek{H966} ten{H6235} thousand{H505} men.{H376}

And they found{H4672} Adoni-bezek{H137} in Bezek;{H966} and they fought{H3898} against him, and they smote{H5221} the Canaanites{H3669} and the Perizzites.{H6522}

But Adoni-bezek{H137} fled;{H5127} and they pursued{H7291} after{H310} him, and caught{H270} him, and cut off{H7112} his thumbs{H931} and his great toes.{H7272}

And Adoni-bezek{H137} said,{H559} Threescore and ten{H7657} kings,{H4428} having their thumbs{H931} and their great toes{H7272} cut off,{H7112} gathered{H3950} [their food] under my table:{H7979} as I have done,{H6213} so God{H430} hath requited{H7999} me. And they brought{H935} him to Jerusalem,{H3389} and he died{H4191} there.

And the children{H1121} of Judah{H3063} fought{H3898} against Jerusalem,{H3389} and took{H3920} it, and smote{H5221} it with the edge{H6310} of the sword,{H2719} and set{H7971} the city{H5892} on fire.{H784}

And afterward{H310} the children{H1121} of Judah{H3063} went down{H3381} to fight{H3898} against the Canaanites{H3669} that dwelt{H3427} in the hill-country,{H2022} and in the South,{H5045} and in the lowland.{H8219}

And Judah{H3063} went{H3212} against the Canaanites{H3669} that dwelt{H3427} in Hebron{H2275} (now the name{H8034} of Hebron{H2275} beforetime{H6440} was Kiriath-arba);{H7153} and they smote{H5221} Sheshai,{H8344} and Ahiman,{H289} and Talmai.{H8526}

And from thence he went{H3212} against the inhabitants{H3427} of Debir.{H1688} (Now the name{H8034} of Debir{H1688} beforetime{H6440} was Kiriath-sepher.){H7158}

And Caleb{H3612} said,{H559} He that smiteth{H5221} Kiriath-sepher,{H7158} and taketh{H3920} it, to him will I give{H5414} Achsah{H5915} my daughter{H1323} to wife.{H802}

And Othniel{H6274} the son{H1121} of Kenaz,{H7073} Caleb's{H3612} younger{H6996} brother,{H251} took{H3920} it: and he gave{H5414} him Achsah{H5915} his daughter{H1323} to wife.{H802}

And it came to pass, when she came{H935} [unto him], that she moved{H5496} him to ask{H7592} of her father{H1} a field:{H7704} and she alighted{H6795} from off her ass;{H2543} and Caleb{H3612} said{H559} unto her, What wouldest thou?

And she said{H559} unto him, Give{H3051} me a blessing;{H1293} for that thou hast set{H5414} me in the land{H776} of the South,{H5045} give{H5414} me also springs{H1543} of water.{H4325} And Caleb{H3612} gave{H5414} her the upper{H5942} springs{H1543} and the nether{H8482} springs.{H1543}

And the children{H1121} of the Kenite,{H7017} Moses'{H4872} brother-in-law,{H2859} went up{H5927} out of the city{H5892} of palm-trees{H8558} with the children{H1121} of Judah{H3063} into the wilderness{H4057} of Judah,{H3063} which is in the south{H5045} of Arad;{H6166} and they went{H3212} and dwelt{H3427} with{H854} the people.{H5971}

And Judah{H3063} went{H3212} with Simeon{H8095} his brother,{H251} and they smote{H5221} the Canaanites{H3669} that inhabited{H3427} Zephath,{H6857} and utterly destroyed{H2763} it. And the name{H8034} of the city{H5892} was called{H7121} Hormah.{H2767}

Also Judah{H3063} took{H3920} Gaza{H5804} with the border{H1366} thereof, and Ashkelon{H831} with the border{H1366} thereof, and Ekron{H6138} with the border{H1366} thereof.

And Jehovah{H3068} was with Judah;{H3063} and drove out{H3423} [the inhabitants of] the hill-country;{H2022} for he could not{H3808} drive out{H3423} the inhabitants{H3427} of the valley,{H6010} because they had chariots{H7393} of iron.{H1270}

And they gave{H5414} Hebron{H2275} unto Caleb,{H3612} as Moses{H4872} had spoken:{H1696} and he drove{H3423} out thence the three{H7969} sons{H1121} of Anak.{H6061}

And the children{H1121} of Benjamin{H1144} did not drive out{H3423} the Jebusites{H2983} that inhabited{H3427} Jerusalem;{H3389} but the Jebusites{H2983} dwell{H3427} with the children{H1121} of Benjamin{H1144} in Jerusalem{H3389} unto this day.{H3117}

And the house{H1004} of Joseph,{H3130} they also went up{H5927} against Beth-el;{H1008} and Jehovah{H3068} was with them.

And the house{H1004} of Joseph{H3130} sent to spy{H8446} out Beth-el.{H1008} (Now the name{H8034} of the city{H5892} beforetime{H6440} was Luz.){H3870}

And the watchers{H8104} saw{H7200} a man{H376} come forth{H3318} out of the city,{H5892} and they said{H559} unto him, Show{H7200} us, we pray thee, the entrance{H3996} into the city,{H5892} and we will deal{H6213} kindly{H2617} with thee.

And he showed{H7200} them the entrance{H3996} into the city;{H5892} and they smote{H5221} the city{H5892} with the edge{H6310} of the sword;{H2719} but they let the man{H376} go{H7971} and all his family.{H4940}

And the man{H376} went{H3212} into the land{H776} of the Hittites,{H2850} and built{H1129} a city,{H5892} and called{H7121} the name{H8034} thereof Luz,{H3870} which is the name{H8034} thereof unto this day.{H3117}

And Manasseh{H4519} did not drive out{H3423} [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean{H1052} and its towns,{H1323} nor [of] Taanach{H8590} and its towns,{H1323} nor the inhabitants{H3427} of Dor{H1756} and its towns,{H1323} nor the inhabitants{H3427} of Ibleam{H2991} and its towns,{H1323} nor the inhabitants{H3427} of Megiddo{H4023} and its towns;{H1323} but the Canaanites{H3669} would{H2974} dwell{H3427} in that land.{H776}

And it came to pass, when Israel{H3478} was waxed strong,{H2388} that they put{H7760} the Canaanites{H3669} to taskwork,{H4522} and did not utterly{H3423} drive them out.{H3423}

And Ephraim{H669} drove not out{H3423} the Canaanites{H3669} that dwelt{H3427} in Gezer;{H1507} but the Canaanites{H3669} dwelt{H3427} in Gezer{H1507} among{H7130} them.

Zebulun{H2074} drove not out{H3423} the inhabitants{H3427} of Kitron,{H7003} nor the inhabitants{H3427} of Nahalol;{H5096} but the Canaanites{H3669} dwelt{H3427} among{H7130} them, and became subject to taskwork.{H4522}

Asher{H836} drove not out{H3423} the inhabitants{H3427} of Acco,{H5910} nor the inhabitants{H3427} of Sidon,{H6721} nor of Ahlab,{H303} nor of Achzib,{H392} nor of Helbah,{H2462} nor of Aphik,{H663} nor of Rehob;{H7340}

but the Asherites{H843} dwelt{H3427} among{H7130} the Canaanites,{H3669} the inhabitants{H3427} of the land;{H776} for they did not drive them out.{H3423}

Naphtali{H5321} drove not out{H3423} the inhabitants{H3427} of Beth-shemesh,{H1053} nor the inhabitants{H3427} of Beth-anath;{H1043} but he dwelt{H3427} among{H7130} the Canaanites,{H3669} the inhabitants{H3427} of the land:{H776} nevertheless the inhabitants{H3427} of Beth-shemesh{H1053} and of Beth-anath{H1043} became subject to taskwork.{H4522}

And the Amorites{H567} forced{H3905} the children{H1121} of Dan{H1835} into the hill-country;{H2022} for they would not suffer{H5414} them to come down{H3381} to the valley;{H6010}

but the Amorites{H567} would{H2974} dwell{H3427} in mount{H2022} Heres,{H2776} in Aijalon,{H357} and in Shaalbim:{H8169} yet the hand{H3027} of the house{H1004} of Joseph{H3130} prevailed,{H3513} so that they became subject to taskwork.{H4522}

And the border{H1366} of the Amorites{H567} was from the ascent{H4608} of Akrabbim,{H4610} from the rock,{H5553} and upward.{H4605}
