The Booke of
Iudges
Now
after
the
death
of
Ioshua,
it
came
to
passe,
that
the
children
of
Israel
asked
the
Lord,
saying,
Who
shal
goe
vp
for
vs
against
the
Canaanites
first,
to
fight
against
them?
2
And
the
Lord
sayd,
Iudah
shall
goe
vp:
Behold,
I
haue
deliuered
the
land
into
his
hand.
3
And
Iudah
saide
vnto
Simeon
his
brother,
Come
vp
with
me
into
my
lot,
that
wee
may
fight
against
the
Canaanites,
and
I
likewise
will
goe
with
thee
into
thy
lot.
So
Simeon
went
with
him.
4
And
Iudah
went
vp,
and
the
Lord
deliuered
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
thumbes,
and
his
great
toes.
7
And
Adoni-bezek
said,
Threescore
&
ten
kings,
hauing
their
thumbs
and
their
great
toes
cut
off,
gathered
their
meate
vnder
my
table:
as
I
haue
done,
so
God
hath
requited
mee,
and
they
brought
him
to
Ierusalem,
and
there
he
died.
8
(Now
the
children
of
Iudah
had
fought
against
Ierusalem,
and
had
taken
it,
and
smitten
it
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
set
the
citie
on
fire)
9
And
afterward
the
children
of
Iudah
went
downe
to
fight
against
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
the
moutaine,
&
in
the
South,
and
in
the
valley.
10
And
Iudah
went
against
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
Hebron
(nowe
the
name
of
Hebron
before
was
Kiriath-arba)
and
they
slew
Sheshai,
and
Ahiman,
and
Talmai.
11
And
from
thence
he
went
against
the
inhabitants
of
Debir,
(&
the
name
of
Debir
before
was
Kiriath-sepher)
12
And
Caleb
said,
Hee
that
smiteth
Kiriath-sepher,
and
taketh
it,
to
him
will
I
giue
Achsah
my
daughter
to
wife.
13
And
Othniel
the
sonne
of
Kenaz
Calebs
yonger
brother
tooke
it:
and
he
gaue
him
Achsah
his
daughter
to
wife.
14
And
it
came
to
passe
when
shee
came
to
him,
that
she
moued
him
to
aske
of
her
father
a
field:
and
shee
lighted
from
off
her
asse,
and
Caleb
said
vnto
her,
What
wilt
thou?
15
And
she
said
vnto
him,
Giue
me
a
blessing:
for
thou
hast
giuen
mee
a
South
land,
giue
me
also
springs
of
water.
And
Caleb
gaue
her
the
vpper
springs,
and
the
nether
springs.
16
And
the
children
of
the
Kenite,
Moses
father
in
law,
went
vp
out
of
the
citie
of
palme
trees,
with
the
children
of
Iudah
into
the
wildernesse
of
Iudah,
which
lieth
in
the
South
of
Arad,
and
they
went
and
dwelt
among
the
people.
17
And
Iudah
went
with
Simeon
his
brother,
and
they
slew
the
Canaanites
that
inhabited
Zephath,
and
vtterly
destroyed
it,
(and
the
name
of
the
citie
was
called
Hormah.)
18
Also
Iudah
tooke
Gaza
with
the
coast
thereof,
and
Askelon
with
the
coast
thereof,
and
Ekron
with
the
coast
thereof.
19
And
the
Lord
was
with
Iudah,
and
hee
draue
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
mountaine,
but
could
not
driue
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
valley,
because
they
had
charets
of
yron.
20
And
they
gaue
Hebron
vnto
Caleb,
as
Moses
saide:
and
hee
expelled
thence
the
three
sonnes
of
Anak.
21
And
the
children
of
Beniamin
did
not
driue
out
the
Iebusites
that
inhabited
Ierusalem:
but
the
Iebusites
dwel
with
the
children
of
Beniamin
in
Ierusalem,
vnto
this
day.
22
And
the
house
of
Ioseph,
they
also
went
vp
against
Bethel:
and
the
Lord
was
with
them.
23
And
the
house
of
Ioseph
sent
to
descrie
Bethel
(now
the
name
of
the
citie
before
was
Luz)
24
And
the
spies
sawe
a
man
come
forth
out
of
the
citie,
and
they
said
vnto
him,
Shew
vs,
wee
pray
thee,
the
entrance
into
the
citie,
and
we
will
shew
thee
mercie.
25
And
when
hee
shewed
them
the
entrance
into
the
citie,
they
smote
the
citie
with
the
edge
of
the
sword:
but
they
let
goe
the
man
and
all
his
familie.
26
And
the
man
went
into
the
lande
of
the
Hittites,
and
built
a
citie,
and
called
the
name
thereof
Luz:
which
is
the
name
thereof
vnto
this
day.
27
Neither
did
Manasseh
driue
out
the
inhabitants
of
Bethshean,
and
her
townes,
nor
Taanach
and
her
townes,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Dor,
and
her
townes,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Ibleam,
and
her
townes,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo,
and
her
townes:
but
the
Canaanites
would
dwel
in
that
land.
28
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Israel
was
strong,
that
they
put
the
Canaanites
to
tribute,
and
did
not
vtterly
driue
them
out.
29
Neither
did
Ephraim
driue
out
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
Gezer:
but
the
Canaanites
dwelt
in
Gezer
among
them.
30
Neither
did
Zebulun
driue
out
the
inhabitants
of
Kitron,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Nahalol:
but
the
Canaanites
dwelt
among
them,
and
became
tributaries.
31
Neither
did
Asher
driue
out
the
inhabitants
of
Accho,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Zidon,
nor
of
Ahlab,
nor
Achzib,
nor
Helbath,
nor
Aphik,
nor
of
Rehob:
32
But
the
Asherites
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land:
for
they
did
not
driue
them
out.
33
Neither
did
Naphtali
driue
out
the
inhabitants
of
Bethshemesh,
nor
the
inhabitants
of
Bethanath,
but
hee
dwelt
among
the
Canaanites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land:
neuerthelesse,
the
inhabitants
of
Bethshemesh,
and
of
Bethanath,
became
tributaries
vnto
them.
34
And
the
Amorites
forced
the
children
of
Dan
into
the
mountaine:
for
they
would
not
suffer
them
to
come
downe
to
the
valley.
35
But
the
Amorites
would
dwell
in
mount
Heres
in
Aiialon,
&
in
Shaalbim:
yet
the
hand
of
the
house
of
Ioseph
preuailed,
so
that
they
became
tributaries.
36
And
the
coast
of
the
Amorites
was
from
the
going
vp
to
Akrabbim,
from
the
rocke,
and
vpward.
