Chapter 1

¹ After the death of Josue the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war?
² And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hands.
³ And Juda said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him.
⁴ And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.
⁵ And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.
⁶ And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.
⁷ And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
⁸ And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire.
⁹ And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
¹⁰ And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:
¹¹ And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters.
¹² And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife.
¹³ And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.
¹⁴ And as she was going on her way her husband admonished her to ask a field of her father. And as she sighed sitting on her ass, Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?
¹⁵ But she answered: Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also a watery land. So Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.
¹⁶ And the children of the Cinite, the kinsman of Moses, went up from the city of palms, with the children of Juda into the wilderness of his lot, which is at the south side of Arad, and they dwelt with him.
¹⁷ And Juda went with Simeon his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema.
¹⁸ And Juda took Gaza with its confines, and Ascalon and Accaron with their confines.
¹⁹ And the Lord was with Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes.
²⁰ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac.
²¹ But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day.
²² The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
²³ For when they were besieging the city, which before was called Luza,
²⁴ They saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
²⁵ And when he had shewn them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man and all his kindred they let go:
²⁶ Who being sent away, went into the land of Hethim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.
²⁷ Manasses also did not destroy Bethsan, and Thanac with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor, and Jeblaam, and Mageddo with their villages. And the Chanaanite began to dwell with them.
²⁸ But after Israel was grown strong he made them tributaries, and would not destroy them.
²⁹ Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him.
³⁰ Zabulon destroyed not the inhabitants of Cetron, and Naalol: but the Chanaanite dwelt among them, and became their tributaries.
³¹ Aser also destroyed not the inhabitants of Accho, and of Sidon, of Ahalab, and of Achazib, and of Helba, and of Aphec, and of Rohob:
³² And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them.
³³ Nephtali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him.
³⁴ And the Amorrhite straitened the children of Dan in the mountain, and gave them not place to go down to the plain:
³⁵ And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him.
³⁶ And the border of the Amorrhite was from the ascent of the scorpion, the rock, and the higher places.

Chapter 1

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 to 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 him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
⁷ And Adoni-bezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food 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 on 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 for a wife.
¹³ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a 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 to her, What wilt thou?
¹⁵ And she said to 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's 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 its border, and Askelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
¹⁹ And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove 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 to 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 to 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 explore Beth-el. Now the name of the city before was Luz.
²⁴ And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.
²⁵ And when he showed 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 of it Luz: which is its name to this day.
²⁷ Neither did Manasseh expel the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor Tanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
²⁸ And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them.
²⁹ Neither did Ephraim expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
³⁰ Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
³¹ Neither did Asher expel 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 expel them.
³³ Neither did Naphtali expel 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 to them.
³⁴ And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
³⁵ But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Ajalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
³⁶ And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

Chapter 1

¹ Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?
² And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.
³ Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.
⁴ And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.
⁵ And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
⁶ But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.
⁷ And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.
⁸ Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.
⁹ After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.
¹⁰ And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba:) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.
¹¹ And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)
¹² And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.
¹³ And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.
¹⁴ Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?
¹⁵ And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.
¹⁶ Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;
¹⁷ And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.
¹⁸ Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.
¹⁹ And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.
²⁰ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.
²¹ And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.
²² And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.
²³ So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)
²⁴ And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.
²⁵ So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.
²⁶ And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.
²⁷ And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.
²⁸ And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.
²⁹ And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.
³⁰ Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.
