[1] After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh,§ saying, “Who should 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. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek. [5] They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites. [6] But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes. [7] Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God§ has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. [8] The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. [9] After that, 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. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. [11] From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.) [12] Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.” [13] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife. [14] When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?” [15] She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then 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 said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there. [21] The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. [22] The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and Yahweh was with them. [23] The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.) [24] The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.” [25] He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. [26] The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day. [27] Manasseh didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. [28] When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out. [29] Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them. [30] Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor. [31] Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob; [32] but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out. [33] 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. [34] The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; [35] 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. [36] The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

King James Version
[1] Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091 it came to pass, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 askedH7592(QalImpf) the Lord,H3068 saying,H559(QalInf) Who shall go upH5927(QalImpf) for us against the CanaanitesH3669 first,H8462 to fightH3898(NiphInf) against them? [2] And the LordH3068 said,H559(QalImpf) JudahH3063 shall go up:H5927(QalImpf) behold, I have deliveredH5414(QalPerf) the landH776 into his hand.H3027 [3] And JudahH3063 saidH559(QalImpf) unto SimeonH8095 his brother,H251 Come upH5927(QalImpv) with me into my lot,H1486 that we may fightH3898(NiphImpf) against the Canaanites;H3669 and I likewise will goH1980(QalPerf) with thee into thy lot.H1486 So SimeonH8095 wentH3212(QalImpf) with him. [4] And JudahH3063 went up;H5927(QalImpf) and the LordH3068 deliveredH5414(QalImpf) the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 into their hand:H3027 and they slewH5221(HiphImpf) of them in BezekH966 tenH6235 thousandH505 men.H376 [5] And they foundH4672(QalImpf) AdonibezekH137 in Bezek:H966 and they foughtH3898(NiphImpf) against him, and they slewH5221(HiphImpf) the CanaanitesH3669 and the Perizzites.H6522 [6] But AdonibezekH137 fled;H5127(QalImpf) and they pursuedH7291(QalImpf) afterH310 him, and caughtH270(QalImpf) him, and cut offH7112(PielImpf) his thumbsH931 and his great toes.H7272 [7] And AdonibezekH137 said,H559(QalImpf) Threescore and tenH7657 kings,H4428 having their thumbsH931 and their great toesH7272 cut off,H7112(PualPtc) gatheredH3950(PielPtc) [their meat] under my table:H7979 as I have done,H6213(QalPerf) so GodH430 hath requitedH7999(PielPerf) me. And they broughtH935(HiphImpf) him to Jerusalem,H3389 and there he died.H4191(QalImpf) [8] Now the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 had foughtH3898(NiphImpf) against Jerusalem,H3389 and had takenH3920(QalImpf) it, and smittenH5221(HiphImpf) it with the edgeH6310 of the sword,H2719 and setH7971(PielPerf) the cityH5892 on fire.H784 [9] And afterwardH310 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 went downH3381(QalPerf) to fightH3898(NiphInf) against the Canaanites,H3669 that dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in the mountain,H2022 and in the south,H5045 and in the valley.H8219 [10] And JudahH3063 wentH3212(QalImpf) against the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in Hebron:H2275 (now the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 beforeH6440 [was] Kirjatharba:H7153) and they slewH5221(HiphImpf) Sheshai,H8344 and Ahiman,H289 and Talmai.H8526 [11] And from thence he wentH3212(QalImpf) against the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Debir:H1688 and the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 beforeH6440 [was] Kirjathsepher:H7158 [12] And CalebH3612 said,H559(QalImpf) He that smitethH5221(HiphImpf) Kirjathsepher,H7158 and takethH3920(QalPerf) it, to him will I giveH5414(QalPerf) AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 to wife.H802 [13] And OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of Kenaz,H7073 Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996 brother,H251 tookH3920(QalImpf) it: and he gaveH5414(QalImpf) him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 to wife.H802 [14] And it came to pass, when she cameH935(QalInf) [to him], that she movedH5496(HiphImpf) him to askH7592(QalInf) of her fatherH1 a field:H7704 and she lightedH6795(QalImpf) from off [her] ass;H2543 and CalebH3612 saidH559(QalImpf) unto her, What wilt thou? [15] And she saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, GiveH3051(QalImpv) me a blessing:H1293 for thou hast givenH5414(QalPerf) me a southH5045 land;H776 giveH5414(QalPerf) me also springsH1543 of water.H4325 And CalebH3612 gaveH5414(QalImpf) her the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the netherH8482 springs.H1543 [16] And the childrenH1121 of the Kenite,H7017 Moses’H4872 father in law,H2859(QalActPtc) went upH5927(QalPerf) out of the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558(QK) with the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 into the wildernessH4057 of Judah,H3063 which [lieth] in the southH5045 of Arad;H6166 and they wentH3212(QalImpf) and dweltH3427(QalImpf) amongH854 the people.H5971 [17] And JudahH3063 wentH3212(QalImpf) with SimeonH8095 his brother,H251 and they slewH5221(HiphImpf) the CanaanitesH3669 that inhabitedH3427(QalActPtc) Zephath,H6857 and utterly destroyedH2763(HiphImpf) it. And the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121(QalImpf) Hormah.H2767 [18] Also JudahH3063 tookH3920(QalImpf) GazaH5804 with the coastH1366 thereof, and AskelonH831 with the coastH1366 thereof, and EkronH6138 with the coastH1366 thereof. [19] And the LordH3068 was with Judah;H3063 and he drave outH3423(HiphImpf) [the inhabitants of] the mountain;H2022 but could notH3808 drive outH3423(HiphInf) the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of the valley,H6010 because they had chariotsH7393 of iron.H1270 [20] And they gaveH5414(QalImpf) HebronH2275 unto Caleb,H3612 as MosesH4872 said:H1696(PielPerf) and he expelledH3423(HiphImpf) thence the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of Anak.H6061 [21] And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 did not drive outH3423(HiphPerf) the JebusitesH2983 that inhabitedH3427(QalActPtc) Jerusalem;H3389 but the JebusitesH2983 dwellH3427(QalImpf) with the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 in JerusalemH3389 unto this day.H3117 [22] And the houseH1004 of Joseph,H3130 they also went upH5927(QalImpf) against Bethel:H1008 and the LordH3068 [was] with them. [23] And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 sent to descryH8446(HiphImpf) Bethel.H1008 (Now the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 beforeH6440 [was] Luz.H3870) [24] And the spiesH8104(QalActPtc) sawH7200(QalImpf) a manH376 come forthH3318(QalActPtc) out of the city,H5892 and they saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, ShewH7200(HiphImpv) us, we pray thee, the entranceH3996 into the city,H5892 and we will shewH6213(QalPerf) thee mercy.H2617 [25] And when he shewedH7200(HiphImpf) them the entranceH3996 into the city,H5892 they smoteH5221(HiphImpf) the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the sword;H2719 but they let goH7971(PielPerf) the manH376 and all his family.H4940 [26] And the manH376 wentH3212(QalImpf) into the landH776 of the Hittites,H2850 and builtH1129(QalImpf) a city,H5892 and calledH7121(QalImpf) the nameH8034 thereof Luz:H3870 which [is] the nameH8034 thereof unto this day.H3117 [27] Neither did ManassehH4519 drive outH3423(HiphPerf) [the inhabitants of] BethsheanH1052 and her towns,H1323 nor TaanachH8590 and her towns,H1323 nor the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of DorH1756 and her towns,H1323 nor the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of IbleamH2991 and her towns,H1323 nor the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of MegiddoH4023 and her towns:H1323 but the CanaanitesH3669 wouldH2974(HiphImpf) dwellH3427(QalInf) in that land.H776 [28] And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 was strong,H2388(QalPerf) that they putH7760(QalImpf) the CanaanitesH3669 to tribute,H4522 and did not utterlyH3423(HiphInf) drive them out.H3423(HiphPerf) [29] Neither did EphraimH669 drive outH3423(HiphPerf) the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427(QalActPtc) in Gezer;H1507 but the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427(QalImpf) in GezerH1507 amongH7130 them. [30] Neither did ZebulunH2074 drive outH3423(HiphPerf) the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Kitron,H7003 nor the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Nahalol;H5096 but the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427(QalImpf) amongH7130 them, and became tributaries.H4522 [31] Neither did AsherH836 drive outH3423(HiphPerf) the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Accho,H5910 nor the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Zidon,H6721 nor of Ahlab,H303 nor of Achzib,H392 nor of Helbah,H2462 nor of Aphik,H663 nor of Rehob:H7340 [32] But the AsheritesH843 dweltH3427(QalImpf) amongH7130 the Canaanites,H3669 the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of the land:H776 for they did not drive them out.H3423(HiphPerf) [33] Neither did NaphtaliH5321 drive outH3423(HiphPerf) the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Bethshemesh,H1053 nor the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Bethanath;H1043 but he dweltH3427(QalImpf) amongH7130 the Canaanites,H3669 the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of the land:H776 nevertheless the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of BethshemeshH1053 and of BethanathH1043 became tributariesH4522 unto them. [34] And the AmoritesH567 forcedH3905(QalImpf) the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 into the mountain:H2022 for they would not sufferH5414(QalPerf) them to come downH3381(QalInf) to the valley:H6010 [35] But the AmoritesH567 wouldH2974(HiphImpf) dwellH3427(QalInf) in mountH2022 HeresH2776 in Aijalon,H357 and in Shaalbim:H8169 yet the handH3027 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 prevailed,H3513(QalImpf) so that they became tributaries.H4522 [36] And the coastH1366 of the AmoritesH567 [was] from the going upH4608 to Akrabbim,H4610 from the rock,H5553 and upward.H4605
