1 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 will go up. Behold I have delivered the land into his hand.”

3 So Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you to your allotted territory.” And Simeon went with him.

4 Then Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they killed ten thousand men in Bezek.

5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they killed the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7 And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off gathered their food under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

8 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem and taken it; they struck 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 who dwelt in the mountain, in the South, and in the valley.

10 Then Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 And from there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.)

12 Then Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife.”

13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.

14 Now it happened, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?”

15 So she said to him, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

16 Now the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up from the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

17 And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they killed the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

18 Also Judah took Gaza with its regions, Ashkelon with its regions, and Ekron with its regions.

19 And the LORD was with Judah. And he drove out the inhabitants, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he expelled from there the three sons of Anak.

21 But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22 And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

23 So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.)

24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy.”

25 So when he showed them the entrance into the city, they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.

26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called the name of it name Luz, which is the name of it to this day.

27 Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, and did not completely drive them out.

29 Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30 Nor did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and were put under tribute.

31 Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob.

32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; because they did not drive them out.

33 Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain, because, they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they were put under tribute.

36 Now the boundary of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
