Judges - ch 1 v 1 - 20

  1. It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?
  2. Yahweh said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
  3. 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.
  4. Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
  5. They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
  6. But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
  7. 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.
  8. The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
  9. Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
  10. Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
  11. From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)
  12. Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
  13. Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
  14. It happened, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What would you?
  15. She said to him, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
  16. The children of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
  17. Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
  18. Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
  19. Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
  20. They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out there the three sons of Anak.
