Judges 1:16-17

16Now the descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the men of Judah from the City of Palms1 to the Wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad. They went to live among the people.

17Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and devoted the city to destruction.2 So it was called Hormah.3
