Judges 1:23-26

23They sent men to scout out Bethel (formerly known as Luz).

24They confronted a man coming out of the town and said to him, “Show us a way into the town, and we will have mercy on you.”

25So he showed them a way in, and they killed everyone in the town except that man and his family.

26Later the man moved to the land of the Hittites, where he built a town. He named it Luz, which is its name to this day.
