Judges Chapter 1

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 askedH7592 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall goH5927 upH5927 for usH413 firstH8462 againstH413 the CanaanitesH3669, to fightH3898 againstH413 them? 2And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall goH5927 upH5927: beholdH2009, I have deliveredH5414 the landH776 intoH776 his handH3027. 3And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, ComeH1980 upH5927 with meH589 intoH1980 my lotH1486, that weH1980 may fightH3898 againstH854 the CanaanitesH3669; and I likewise will goH1980 with thee intoH1980 thy lotH1486. SoH1980 SimeonH8095 wentH1980 with him. 4And JudahH3063 wentH5927 upH5927; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 intoH376 their handH3027: and they smoteH5221 of them in BezekH966 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376. 5And they foundH4672 Adoni-bezekH137 in BezekH966: and they foughtH3898 againstH3898 him, and they smoteH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522. 6But Adoni-bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291 afterH310 him, and caughtH270 him, and cutH7112 offH7112 his thumbsH931 and his great toesH931. 7And Adoni-bezekH137 saidH559, Threescore and ten kingsH4428, havingH1961 their thumbsH931 and their greatH430 toesH931 cutH7112 offH7112, gatheredH3950 their meat underH8478 my tableH7979: as I have doneH6213, soH3651 GodH430 hath requited meH935. And they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191 there. 8And the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 foughtH3898 againstH3898 JerusalemH3389, and tookH3920 it, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and setH7971 the cityH5892 on fireH784. 9And afterwardH310 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 to fightH3898 againstH3898 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022, and in the SouthH5045, and in the lowlandH8219. 10And JudahH3063 wentH413 againstH413 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in HebronH2275: (now the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 beforetime was Kiriath-arbaH7153:) and they smoteH5221 SheshaiH8344, and AhimanH289, and TalmaiH8526. 11And from thence he wentH413 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688. (Now the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 beforetime was Kiriath-sepherH7158.) 12And CalebH3612 saidH559, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepherH7158, and taketh 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 cameH935 to passH935, when sheH4100 cameH935 unto him, that sheH4100 movedH935 him to askH7592 of herH5921 fatherH1 a fieldH7704: and sheH4100 lighted downH5921 from offH5921 herH5921 ass; and CalebH3612 saidH559 unto herH5921, WhatH4100 wouldest thou? 15And sheH3588 saidH559 unto him, GiveH5414 meH5414 a blessingH1293; for that thou hast setH5414 meH5414 in the landH776 of the SouthH5045, giveH5414 meH5414 also springsH1543 of waterH4325. And CalebH3612 gaveH5414 herH5414 the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the netherH8482 springsH1543. 16And the childrenH1121 of the KeniteH7017, Moses’H4872 brother in law, wentH5927 upH5927 outH3427 of the cityH5892 of palmH8558 treesH8558 with the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 intoH5927 the wildernessH4057 of JudahH3063, whichH834 is in the southH5045 of AradH6166; and they wentH5927 and dweltH3427 with the peopleH5971. 17And JudahH3063 went with SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, and they smoteH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 that inhabitedH3427 ZephathH6857, and utterly destroyedH5221 it. And the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 HormahH2767. 18Also JudahH3063 tookH3920 GazaH5804 with the borderH1366 thereof, and AshkelonH831 with the borderH1366 thereof, and EkronH6138 with the borderH1366 thereof. 19And the LORDH3068 was with JudahH3063; and he drave outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of the hillH2022 countryH2022; for he could notH3808 driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of the valleyH6010, becauseH3588 they had chariotsH7393 of ironH1270. 20And they gaveH5414 HebronH2275 unto CalebH3612, as MosesH4872 had spokenH1696: and he drave outH3423 thence the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of Anak. 21And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 didH3808 notH3808 driveH3423 outH3423 the JebusitesH2983 that inhabitedH3427 JerusalemH3389: but the JebusitesH2983 dweltH3427 with the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 in JerusalemH3389, unto this dayH3117. 22And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, they also wentH5927 upH5927 againstH5973 Beth-el: and the LORDH3068 was with them. 23And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 sent to spyH8446 outH6440 Beth-el. (Now the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 beforetime was LuzH3870.) 24And the watchers sawH7200 a manH376 comeH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and they saidH559 unto him, Shew usH4994, weH4994 prayH4994 thee, the entranceH3996 intoH376 the cityH5892, and weH4994 will dealH6213 kindly with thee. 25And he shewed them the entranceH3996 intoH376 the cityH5892, and they smoteH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; but they letH7971 the manH376 goH7971 and allH3605 his familyH4940. 26And the manH376 wentH376 intoH376 the landH776 of the HittitesH2850, and builtH1129 a cityH5892, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof LuzH3870: whichH1931 is the nameH8034 thereof unto this dayH3117. 27And ManassehH4519 didH3808 notH3808 driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-sheanH1052 and herH3423 townsH1323, norH3808 of TaanachH8590 and herH3423 townsH1323, norH3808 the inhabitantsH3427 of DorH1756 and herH3423 townsH1323, norH3808 the inhabitantsH3427 of IbleamH2991 and herH3423 townsH1323, norH3808 the inhabitantsH3427 of MegiddoH4023 and herH3423 townsH1323: but the CanaanitesH3669 would dwellH3427 in that landH776. 28And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when IsraelH3478 was waxen strongH2388, that they putH7760 the CanaanitesH3669 to taskwork, and didH3808 notH3808 utterly driveH3423 them outH2388. 29And EphraimH669 drave notH3808 outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in GezerH1507; but the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427 in GezerH1507 among them. 30ZebulunH2074 drave notH3808 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of KitronH7003, norH3808 the inhabitantsH3427 of NahalolH5096; but the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427 among them, and becameH1961 tributary. 31AsherH836 drave notH3808 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of AccoH5910, norH3808 the inhabitantsH3427 of Zidon, norH3808 of AhlabH303, norH3808 of AchzibH392, norH3808 of HelbahH2462, norH3808 of AphikH663, norH3808 of RehobH7340: 32but the AsheritesH843 dweltH3427 among the CanaanitesH3669, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776: for they didH3808 notH3808 driveH3423 them outH3423. 33NaphtaliH5321 drave notH3808 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-shemeshH1053, norH3808 the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-anathH1043; but he dweltH3427 among the CanaanitesH3669, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776: nevertheless the inhabitantsH3427 of Beth-shemeshH1053 and of Beth-anathH1043 becameH1961 tributary unto them. 34And the AmoritesH567 forcedH3905 the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 intoH5414 the hillH2022 countryH2022: for they would notH3808 suffer them to comeH3381 downH3381 to the valleyH6010: 35but the AmoritesH567 would dwellH3427 in mountH2022 HeresH2776, in AijalonH357, and in ShaalbimH8169: yet the handH3027 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 prevailed, soH1961 that they becameH1961 tributary. 36And the borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567 was from the ascentH4610 of AkrabbimH4610, from the rockH5553, and upwardH4605.
