1Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091 that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 1inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, “WhoH4310 shall goH5927 upH5927 firstH8462 for us 2againstH413 the CanaanitesH3669, to fightH3898 against them?”

2The LordH3068 saidH559, “3JudahH3063 shall goH5927 upH5927; beholdH2009, I have handedH5414H3027 the landH776 overH5414 to him.”

3Then JudahH3063 saidH559 to his brotherH251 SimeonH8095, “GoH5927 upH5927 with me into 4the territoryH1486 allottedH1486 me, and let’s fightH3898 the CanaanitesH3669; and 5I inH1571 turnH1571 will goH1980 with you into 6the territoryH1486 allottedH1486 you.” So SimeonH8095 wentH1980 with him.

4JudahH3063 wentH5927 upH5927, and 7the LordH3068 handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to them the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522, and they 8defeatedH5221 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 at BezekH966.
