Judges 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
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
a
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,
a
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
a
nether
springs.
16 And
the
children
of
the
a
Kenite,
Moses'
father
in
law,
went
up
out
of
the
b
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
a
coast
thereof,
and
Askelon
with
the
coast
thereof,
and
Ekron
with
the
coast
thereof.
