Judges 1:12-36

12And CalebH3612 saidH559, “WhoeverH834 attacksH5221 Kiriath-sepherH7158 and capturesH3920 it, I will giveH5414 him my daughterH1323 AchsahH5915 as a wifeH802.” 13Now 1OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996H4480 brotherH251, capturedH3920 it; so he gaveH5414 him his daughterH1323 AchsahH5915 as a wifeH802. 14Then 2it happenedH1961 that when she cameH935 to him, she incitedH5496 him to askH7592 her fatherH1 for a fieldH7704. Then later, she dismountedH6795 from 3her donkeyH2543, and CalebH3612 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 4do you want?” 15She saidH559 to him, “GiveH3051 me a blessingH1293: sinceH3588 you have givenH5414 me the landH776 of the 5NegevH5045, giveH5414 me springsH1543 of waterH4325 also.” So CalebH3612 gaveH5414 her the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the lowerH8482 springsH1543.

16Now the 6descendantsH1121 of 7the KeniteH7017, Moses’H4872 father-in-lawH2860, wentH5927 upH5927 from the 8cityH5892 of palmsH8558 with the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, to the wildernessH4057 of JudahH3063 whichH834 is in the southH5045 of 9AradH6166; and they wentH1980 and livedH3427 with the peopleH5971. 17Then JudahH3063 wentH1980 with his brotherH251 SimeonH8095, and they struckH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 livingH3427 in ZephathH6857, and utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 it. So the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 10HormahH2767. 18And JudahH3063 tookH3920 11GazaH5804 with its territoryH1366, AshkelonH831 with its territoryH1366, and EkronH6138 with its territoryH1366. 19Now the LordH3068 was with JudahH3063, and they tookH3423 possessionH3423 of the hillH2022 countryH2022; but they could not 12driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of the valleyH6010, becauseH3588 they had 13ironH1270 chariotsH7393. 20Then they gaveH5414 HebronH2275 to CalebH3612, 14as MosesH4872 had 15promisedH1696; and he droveH3423 outH3423 from thereH8033 16the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of AnakH6061. 2117But the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 did not driveH3423 outH3423 the 18JebusitesH2983 who livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389; so the JebusitesH2983 have livedH3427 with the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 in JerusalemH3389 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

22LikewiseH1571 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 wentH5927 upH5927 against BethelH1008, and the LordH3068 was with them. 23The houseH1004 of JosephH3130 had men spyH8446 outH8446 BethelH1008 (19the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 previouslyH6440 was LuzH3870). 24And the spiesH8104 sawH7200 a manH376 comingH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and they saidH559 to him, “PleaseH4994 showH7200 us the entranceH3996 to the cityH5892, and 20we will treatH6213 you kindlyH2617.” 25So he showedH7200 them the entranceH3996 to the cityH5892, and they struckH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, 21but they letH7971 the manH376 and allH3605 his familyH4940 goH7971 freeH7971. 26Then the manH376 wentH1980 to the landH776 of the HittitesH2850 and builtH1129 a cityH5892, and namedH7121H8034 it LuzH3870, 22whichH1931 is its nameH8034 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

2723But ManassehH4519 did not takeH3423 possessionH3423 of Beth-sheanH1052 and its villagesH1323, or TaanachH8590 and its villagesH1323, or the inhabitantsH3427 of DorH1756 and its villagesH1323, or the inhabitantsH3427 of IbleamH2991 and its villagesH1323, or the inhabitantsH3427 of MegiddoH4023 and its villagesH1323; so 24the CanaanitesH3669 persistedH2974 in livingH3427 in thisH2088 landH776. 28And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3588 IsraelH3478 becameH2388 strongH2388, that they putH7760 the CanaanitesH3669 to forcedH4522 laborH4522; but they did not driveH3423 them outH3423 completelyH3423.

29And 25EphraimH669 did not driveH3423 outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669 who were livingH3427 in GezerH1507; so the CanaanitesH3669 livedH3427 in GezerH1507 amongH7130 them.

30ZebulunH2074 did not driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of KitronH7003, or the inhabitantsH3427 of 26NahalolH5096; so the CanaanitesH3669 livedH3427 amongH7130 them and becameH1961 subject to forcedH4522 laborH4522.

31AsherH836 did not driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of AccoH5910, or the inhabitantsH3427 of SidonH6721, or of AhlabH303, or of AchzibH392, HelbahH2462, AphikH663, or of RehobH7340. 32So the AsheritesH843 livedH3427 amongH7130 the CanaanitesH3669, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776; for they did not driveH3423 them outH3423.

33NaphtaliH5321 did not driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-shemeshH1053, or the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-anathH1043, but livedH3427 amongH7130 the CanaanitesH3669, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776; and the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-shemeshH1053 and Beth-anathH1043 becameH1961 forcedH4522 laborH4522 for them.

34Then the AmoritesH567 27forcedH3905 the sonsH1121 of DanH1835 into the hillH2022 countryH2022, for they did not allowH5414 them to comeH3381 downH3381 to the valleyH6010; 35yet the AmoritesH567 persistedH2974 in livingH3427 on MountH2022 HeresH2776, in AijalonH357 and ShaalbimH8169; but when the 28powerH3027 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 29grewH3513 strongH3513, they becameH1961 forcedH4522 laborH4522. 36The borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567 ran from the 30ascentH4610 ofH4610 AkrabbimH4610, from SelaH5554 and upwardH4605.
