Judges 1 (kjv)

Now after^H310 the death^H4194 of Joshua^H3091 it came to pass, that the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 asked^H7592 the LORD^H3068, saying^H559, Who shall go up^H5927 for us against the Canaanites^H3669 first^H8462, to fight^H3898 against them?²And the LORD^H3068 said^H559, Judah^H3063 shall go up^H5927: behold, I have delivered^H5414 the land^H776 into his hand^H3027.³And Judah^H3063 said^H559 unto Simeon^H8095 his brother^H251, Come up^H5927 with me into my lot^H1486, that we may fight^H3898 against the Canaanites^H3669; and I likewise will go^H1980 with thee into thy lot^H1486. So Simeon^H8095 went^H3212 with him.

⁴And Judah^H3063 went up^H5927; and the LORD^H3068 delivered^H5414 the Canaanites^H3669 and the Perizzites^H6522 into their hand^H3027: and they slew^H5221 of them in Bezek^H966 ten^H6235 thousand^H505 men^H376.⁵And they found^H4672 Adonibezek^H137 in Bezek^H966: and they fought^H3898 against him, and they slew^H5221 the Canaanites^H3669 and the Perizzites^H6522.⁶But Adonibezek^H137 fled^H5127; and they pursued^H7291 after^H310 him, and caught^H270 him, and cut off^H7112 his thumbs^{H931 H3027} and his great toes^H7272.⁷And Adonibezek^H137 said^H559, Threescore and ten^H7657 kings^H4428, having their thumbs^{H931 H3027} and their great toes^H7272 cut off^H7112, gathered^H3950 their meat under my table^H7979: as I have done^H6213, so God^H430 hath requited^H7999 me. And they brought^H935 him to Jerusalem^H3389, and there he died^H4191.

⁸Now the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 had fought^H3898 against Jerusalem^H3389, and had taken^H3920 it, and smitten^H5221 it with the edge^H6310 of the sword^H2719, and set^H7971 the city^H5892 on fire^H784.⁹And afterward^H310 the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 went down^H3381 to fight^H3898 against the Canaanites^H3669, that dwelt^H3427 in the mountain^H2022, and in the south^H5045, and in the valley^H8219.

¹⁰And Judah^H3063 went^H3212 against the Canaanites^H3669 that dwelt^H3427 in Hebron^H2275: (now the name^H8034 of Hebron^H2275 before^H6440 was Kirjatharba^H7153:) and they slew^H5221 Sheshai^H8344, and Ahiman^H289, and Talmai^H8526.

¹¹And from thence he went^H3212 against the inhabitants^H3427 of Debir^H1688: and the name^H8034 of Debir^H1688 before^H6440 was Kirjathsepher^H7158:¹²And Caleb^H3612 said^H559, He that smiteth^H5221 Kirjathsepher^H7158, and taketh^H3920 it, to him will I give^H5414 Achsah^H5915 my daughter^H1323 to wife^H802.¹³And Othniel^H6274 the son^H1121 of Kenaz^H7073, Caleb's^H3612 younger^H6996 brother^H251, took^H3920 it: and he gave^H5414 him Achsah^H5915 his daughter^H1323 to wife^H802.¹⁴And it came to pass, when she came^H935 to him, that she moved^H5496 him to ask^H7592 of her father^H1 a field^H7704: and she lighted^H6795 from off her ass^H2543; and Caleb^H3612 said^H559 unto her, What wilt thou?¹⁵And she said^H559 unto him, Give^H3051 me a blessing^H1293: for thou hast given^H5414 me a south^H5045 land^H776; give^H5414 me also springs^H1543 of water^H4325. And Caleb^H3612 gave^H5414 her the upper^H5942 springs^H1543 and the nether^H8482 springs^H1543.

¹⁶And the children^H1121 of the Kenite^H7017, Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859, went up^H5927 out of the city^H5892 of palm trees^{H8558 H5899} with the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 into the wilderness^H4057 of Judah^H3063, which lieth in the south^H5045 of Arad^H6166; and they went^H3212 and dwelt^H3427 among^H854 the people^H5971.

¹⁷And Judah^H3063 went^H3212 with Simeon^H8095 his brother^H251, and they slew^H5221 the Canaanites^H3669 that inhabited^H3427 Zephath^H6857, and utterly destroyed^H2763 it. And the name^H8034 of the city^H5892 was called^H7121 Hormah^H2767.¹⁸Also Judah^H3063 took^H3920 Gaza^H5804 with the coast^H1366 thereof, and Askelon^H831 with the coast^H1366 thereof, and Ekron^H6138 with the coast^H1366 thereof.¹⁹And the LORD^H3068 was with Judah^H3063; and he drave out^H3423 the inhabitants of the mountain^H2022; but could not^H3808 drive out^H3423 the inhabitants^H3427 of the valley^H6010, because they had chariots^H7393 of iron^H1270.²⁰And they gave^H5414 Hebron^H2275 unto Caleb^H3612, as Moses^H4872 said^H1696: and he expelled^H3423 thence the three^H7969 sons^H1121 of Anak^H6061.

²¹And the children^H1121 of Benjamin^H1144 did not drive out^H3423 the Jebusites^H2983 that inhabited^H3427 Jerusalem^H3389; but the Jebusites^H2983 dwell^H3427 with the children^H1121 of Benjamin^H1144 in Jerusalem^H3389 unto this day^H3117.

²²And the house^H1004 of Joseph^H3130, they also went up^H5927 against Bethel^H1008: and the LORD^H3068 was with them.²³And the house^H1004 of Joseph^H3130 sent to descry^H8446 Bethel^H1008. (Now the name^H8034 of the city^H5892 before^H6440 was Luz^H3870.)²⁴And the spies^H8104 saw^H7200 a man^H376 come forth^H3318 out of the city^H5892, and they said^H559 unto him, Shew^H7200 us, we pray thee, the entrance^H3996 into the city^H5892, and we will shew^H6213 thee mercy^H2617.²⁵And when he shewed^H7200 them the entrance^H3996 into the city^H5892, they smote^H5221 the city^H5892 with the edge^H6310 of the sword^H2719; but they let go^H7971 the man^H376 and all his family^H4940.²⁶And the man^H376 went^H3212 into the land^H776 of the Hittites^H2850, and built^H1129 a city^H5892, and called^H7121 the name^H8034 thereof Luz^H3870: which is the name^H8034 thereof unto this day^H3117.²⁷Neither did Manasseh^H4519 drive out^H3423 the inhabitants of Bethshean^H1052 and her towns^H1323, nor Taanach^H8590 and her towns^H1323, nor the inhabitants^H3427 of Dor^H1756 and her towns^H1323, nor the inhabitants^H3427 of Ibleam^H2991 and her towns^H1323, nor the inhabitants^H3427 of Megiddo^H4023 and her towns^H1323: but the Canaanites^H3669 would^H2974 dwell^H3427 in that land^H776.²⁸And it came to pass, when Israel^H3478 was strong^H2388, that they put^H7760 the Canaanites^H3669 to tribute^H4522, and did not utterly^H3423 drive them out^H3423.²⁹Neither did Ephraim^H669 drive out^H3423 the Canaanites^H3669 that dwelt^H3427 in Gezer^H1507; but the Canaanites^H3669 dwelt^H3427 in Gezer^H1507 among^H7130 them.

³⁰Neither did Zebulun^H2074 drive out^H3423 the inhabitants^H3427 of Kitron^H7003, nor the inhabitants^H3427 of Nahalol^H5096; but the Canaanites^H3669 dwelt^H3427 among^H7130 them, and became tributaries^H4522.

³¹Neither did Asher^H836 drive out^H3423 the inhabitants^H3427 of Accho^H5910, nor the inhabitants^H3427 of Zidon^H6721, nor of Ahlab^H303, nor of Achzib^H392, nor of Helbah^H2462, nor of Aphik^H663, nor of Rehob^H7340:³²But the Asherites^H843 dwelt^H3427 among^H7130 the Canaanites^H3669, the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776: for they did not drive them out^H3423.

³³Neither did Naphtali^H5321 drive out^H3423 the inhabitants^H3427 of Bethshemesh^H1053, nor the inhabitants^H3427 of Bethanath^H1043; but he dwelt^H3427 among^H7130 the Canaanites^H3669, the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776: nevertheless the inhabitants^H3427 of Bethshemesh^H1053 and of Bethanath^H1043 became tributaries^H4522 unto them.

³⁴And the Amorites^H567 forced^H3905 the children^H1121 of Dan^H1835 into the mountain^H2022: for they would not suffer^H5414 them to come down^H3381 to the valley^H6010:³⁵But the Amorites^H567 would^H2974 dwell^H3427 in mount^H2022 Heres^H2776 in Aijalon^H357, and in Shaalbim^H8169: yet the hand^H3027 of the house^H1004 of Joseph^H3130 prevailed^H3513, so that they became tributaries^H4522.³⁶And the coast^H1366 of the Amorites^H567 was from the going up^H4608 to Akrabbim^H4610, from the rock^H5553, and upward^H4605.
