So Simeon went with him. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.) <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb&#8217;s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> 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? <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses&#8217; 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; <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.) <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out; <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley; <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height
