The Book of
Judges
Now
after
the
death
of
Joshua
it
came
to
pass,
that
the
children
of
Israel
asked
the
Lord,
saying,
Who
shall
go
up
for
us
against
the
Canaanites
first,
to
fight
against
them?
2
And
the
Lord
said,
Judah
shall
go
up:
behold,
I
have
delivered
the
land
into
his
hand.
3
And
Judah
said
unto
Simeon
his
brother,
Come
up
with
me
into
my
lot,
that
we
may
fight
against
the
Canaanites;
and
I
likewise
will
go
with
thee
into
thy
lot.
So
Simeon
went
with
him.
4
And
Judah
went
up;
and
the
Lord
delivered
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites
into
their
hand:
and
they
slew
of
them
in
Bezek
ten
thousand
men.
5
And
they
found
Adoni-bezek
in
Bezek:
and
they
fought
against
him,
and
they
slew
the
Canaanites
and
the
Perizzites.
6
But
Adoni-bezek
fled;
and
they
pursued
after
him,
and
caught
him,
and
cut
off
his
thumbs
and
his
great
toes.
7
And
Adoni-bezek
said,
Threescore
and
ten
kings,
having
their
thumbs
and
their
great
toes
cut
off,
gathered
their
meat
under
my
table:
as
I
have
done,
so
God
hath
requited
me.
And
they
brought
him
to
Jerusalem,
and
there
he
died.
8
Now
the
children
of
Judah
had
fought
against
Jerusalem,
and
had
taken
it,
and
smitten
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
set
the
city
on
fire.
9
And
afterward
the
children
of
Judah
went
down
to
fight
against
the
Canaanites,
that
dwelt
in
the
mountain,
and
in
the
south,
and
in
the
valley.
10
And
Judah
went
against
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
Hebron:
(now
the
name
of
Hebron
before
was
Kirjath-arba:)
and
they
slew
Sheshai,
and
Ahiman,
and
Talmai.
11
And
from
thence
he
went
against
the
inhabitants
of
Debir:
and
the
name
of
Debir
before
was
Kirjath-sepher:
12
And
Caleb
said,
He
that
smiteth
Kirjath-sepher,
and
taketh
it,
to
him
will
I
give
Achsah
my
daughter
to
wife.
13
And
Othniel
the
son
of
Kenaz,
Caleb’s
younger
brother,
took
it:
and
he
gave
him
Achsah
his
daughter
to
wife.
14
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
she
came
to
him,
that
she
moved
him
to
ask
of
her
father
a
field:
and
she
lighted
from
off
her
ass;
and
Caleb
said
unto
her,
What
wilt
thou?
15
And
she
said
unto
him,
Give
me
a
blessing:
for
thou
hast
given
me
a
south
land;
give
me
also
springs
of
water.
And
Caleb
gave
her
the
upper
springs
and
the
nether
springs.
16
And
the
children
of
the
Kenite,
Moses’
father
in
law,
went
up
out
of
the
city
of
palm
trees
with
the
children
of
Judah
into
the
wilderness
of
Judah,
which
lieth
in
the
south
of
Arad;
and
they
went
and
dwelt
among
the
people.
17
And
Judah
went
with
Simeon
his
brother,
and
they
slew
the
Canaanites
that
inhabited
Zephath,
and
utterly
destroyed
it.
And
the
name
of
the
city
was
called
Hormah.
18
Also
Judah
took
Gaza
with
the
coast
thereof,
and
Askelon
with
the
coast
thereof,
and
Ekron
with
the
coast
thereof.
19
And
the
Lord
was
with
Judah;
and
he
drave
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
mountain;
but
could
not
drive
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
valley,
because
they
had
chariots
of
iron.
20
And
they
gave
Hebron
unto
Caleb,
as
Moses
said:
and
he
expelled
thence
the
three
sons
of
Anak.
21
And
the
children
of
Benjamin
did
not
drive
out
the
Jebusites
that
inhabited
Jerusalem;
but
the
Jebusites
dwell
with
the
children
of
Benjamin
in
Jerusalem
unto
this
day.
22
And
the
house
of
Joseph,
they
also
went
up
against
Beth-el:
and
the
Lord
was
with
them.
23
And
the
house
of
Joseph
sent
to
descry
Beth-el.
(Now
the
name
of
the
city
before
was
Luz.)
24
And
the
spies
saw
a
man
come
forth
out
of
the
city,
and
they
said
unto
him,
Shew
us,
we
pray
thee,
the
entrance
into
the
city,
and
we
will
shew
thee
mercy.
25
And
when
he
shewed
them
the
entrance
into
the
city,
they
smote
the
city
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
but
they
let
go
the
man
and
all
his
family.
26
And
the
man
went
into
the
land
of
the
Hittites,
and
built
a
city,
and
called
the
name
thereof
Luz:
which
is
the
name
thereof
unto
this
day.
27
Neither
did
Manasseh
drive
out
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-shean
and
her
towns,
nor
Taanach
and
her
towns,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Dor
and
her
towns,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Ibleam
and
her
towns,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo
and
her
towns:
but
the
Canaanites
would
dwell
in
that
land.
28
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Israel
was
strong,
that
they
put
the
Canaanites
to
tribute,
and
did
not
utterly
drive
them
out.
29
Neither
did
Ephraim
drive
out
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
Gezer;
but
the
Canaanites
dwelt
in
Gezer
among
them.
30
Neither
did
Zebulun
drive
out
the
inhabitants
of
Kitron,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol;
but
the
Canaanites
dwelt
among
them,
and
became
tributaries.
31
Neither
did
Asher
drive
out
the
inhabitants
of
Accho,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Zidon,
nor
of
Ahlab,
nor
of
Achzib,
nor
of
Helbah,
nor
of
Aphik,
nor
of
Rehob:
32
But
the
Asherites
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land:
for
they
did
not
drive
them
out.
33
Neither
did
Naphtali
drive
out
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-shemesh,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-anath;
but
he
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land:
nevertheless
the
inhabitants
of
Beth-shemesh
and
of
Beth-anath
became
tributaries
unto
them.
34
And
the
Amorites
forced
the
children
of
Dan
into
the
mountain:
for
they
would
not
suffer
them
to
come
down
to
the
valley:
35
But
the
Amorites
would
dwell
in
mount
Heres
in
Aijalon,
and
in
Shaalbim:
yet
the
hand
of
the
house
of
Joseph
prevailed,
so
that
they
became
tributaries.
36
And
the
coast
of
the
Amorites
was
from
the
going
up
to
Akrabbim,
from
the
rock,
and
upward.
