Judges 1:3-17
3And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, Come upH5927 with me into my lotH1486, that we may fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669; and I likewise will goH1980 with thee into thy lotH1486. So SimeonH8095 wentH3212 with him. 4And JudahH3063 went upH5927; And YhwhH3068 deliveredH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 into their handH3027: and they slewH5221 of them in BezekH966 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376. 5And they foundH4672 Adoni–bezekH137 in BezekH966: and they foughtH3898 against him, and they slewH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522. 6But Adoni–bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291 afterH310 him, and caughtH270 him, and cut offH7112 his thumbsH3027H931 and his great toesH7272. 7And Adoni–bezekH137 saidH559, Threescore and tenH7657 kingsH4428, having their thumbsH3027H931 and their great toesH7272 cut offH7112, gatheredH3950 their meat under my tableH7979: as I have doneH6213, so GodH430 hath requitedH7999 me. And they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and there he diedH4191.12 8Now the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 had foughtH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and had takenH3920 it, and smittenH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and setH7971 the cityH5892 on fireH784.
9And afterwardH310 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 went downH3381 to fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669, that dweltH3427 in the mountainH2022, and in the southH5045, and in the valleyH8219.3 10And JudahH3063 wentH3212 against the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in HebronH2275: (now the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 beforeH6440 was Kirjath–arbaH7153:) and they slewH5221 SheshaiH8344, and AhimanH289, and TalmaiH8526. 11And from thence he wentH3212 against the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688: and the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 beforeH6440 was Kirjath–sepherH7158: 12And CalebH3612 saidH559, He that smitethH5221 Kirjath–sepherH7158, and takethH3920 it, to him will I giveH5414 AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 to wifeH802. 13And OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996 brotherH251, tookH3920 it: and he gaveH5414 him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802. 14And it came to pass, when she cameH935 to him, that she movedH5496 him to askH7592 of her fatherH1 a fieldH7704: and she lightedH6795 from off her donkeyH2543; and CalebH3612 saidH559 unto her, What wilt thou? 15And she saidH559 unto him, GiveH3051 me a blessingH1293: for thou hast givenH5414 me a southH5045 landH776; giveH5414 me also springsH1543 of waterH4325. And CalebH3612 gaveH5414 her the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the netherH8482 springsH1543.
16And the childrenH1121 of the KeniteH7017, Moses’H4872 father in lawH2859, went upH5927 out of the cityH5892 of palm treesH5899H8558 with the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 into the wildernessH4057 of JudahH3063, which lieth in the southH5045 of AradH6166; and they wentH3212 and dweltH3427 amongH854 the peopleH5971. 17And JudahH3063 wentH3212 with SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, and they slewH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 that inhabitedH3427 ZephathH6857, and utterly destroyedH2763 it. And the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 HormahH2767.
