Judges 1:5-15

5And they foundH4672 AdonibezekH137 in BezekH966: and they foughtH3898 against him, and they slewH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522. 6But AdonibezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291H310 him, and caughtH270 him, and cut offH7112 his thumbsH931H3027 and his great toesH7272. 7And AdonibezekH137 saidH559, seventyH7657 kingsH4428, having their thumbsH931H3027 and their great toesH7272 cut offH7112, gatheredH3950 their food under my tableH7979: as I have doneH6213, so GodH430 hath repaidH7999 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 on 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 KirjatharbaH7153:) and they slewH5221 SheshaiH8344, and AhimanH289, and TalmaiH8526. 11And from there he wentH3212 against the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688: and the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 beforeH6440 was KirjathsepherH7158: 12And CalebH3612 saidH559, He that smitethH5221 KirjathsepherH7158, and takethH3920 it, to him will I giveH5414 AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 for a wifeH802. 13And OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, Caleb’sH3612 youngerH6996 brotherH251, tookH3920 it: and he gaveH5414 him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 for a wifeH802. 14And it came to pass, when she cameH935 to him, that she movedH5496 him to askH7592 of her fatherH1 a fieldH7704: and she got offH6795 her donkeyH2543; and CalebH3612 saidH559 to her, What wilt thou? 15And she saidH559 to 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 lowerH8482 springsH1543.
