Judges 1:5-15

5They foundH4672 Adoni-bezekH137 in BezekH966 and foughtH3898 against him, and they 1defeatedH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522. 6But Adoni-bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291H310 him and caughtH270 him, and cutH7112 offH7112 his 2thumbsH931 and bigH931 toesH931H7272. 7And Adoni-bezekH137 saidH559, “SeventyH7657 kingsH4428 with their thumbsH931 and their bigH931 toesH931H7272 cutH7112 offH7112 used to gatherH3950 upH3950 scraps underH8478 my tableH7979; 3as I have doneH6213, soH3651 GodH430 has repaidH7999 me.” So they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191 thereH8033.

8Then the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 foughtH3898 against 4JerusalemH3389 and capturedH3920 it, and struckH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and setH7971 the cityH5892 on fireH784. 9AfterwardH310, the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 to fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669 livingH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022, and in the 5NegevH5045, and in the lowlandH8219. 106So JudahH3063 wentH1980 againstH413 the CanaanitesH3669 who livedH3427 in HebronH2275 (the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 was previouslyH6440 Kiriath-arbaH7153); and they struckH5221 SheshaiH8344, AhimanH289, and TalmaiH8526.

11Then 7from thereH8033 he wentH1980 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688 (the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 was previouslyH6440 Kiriath-sepherH7158). 12And CalebH3612 saidH559, “WhoeverH834 attacksH5221 Kiriath-sepherH7158 and capturesH3920 it, I will giveH5414 him my daughterH1323 AchsahH5915 as a wifeH802.” 13Now 8OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996H4480 brotherH251, capturedH3920 it; so he gaveH5414 him his daughterH1323 AchsahH5915 as a wifeH802. 14Then 9it happenedH1961 that when she cameH935 to him, she incitedH5496 him to askH7592 her fatherH1 for a fieldH7704. Then later, she dismountedH6795 from 10her donkeyH2543, and CalebH3612 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 11do you want?” 15She saidH559 to him, “GiveH3051 me a blessingH1293: sinceH3588 you have givenH5414 me the landH776 of the 12NegevH5045, giveH5414 me springsH1543 of waterH4325 also.” So CalebH3612 gaveH5414 her the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the lowerH8482 springsH1543.
