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 ten thousand men.
			5	And they found# Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought# against him, and they slew# the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
			6	But Adonibezek fled# ; and they pursued# after him, and caught# him, and cut off# his thumbs# and his great toes.
			7	And Adonibezek said# , 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# . [their thumbs...: Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet] [gathered: or, gleaned]
			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. [valley: or, low country]
			10	And Judah went# against the Canaanites that dwelt# in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) 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 Kirjathsepher:
			12	And Caleb said# , He that smiteth# Kirjathsepher, 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 nether springs.
			16	And the children of the Kenite, Moses' 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 the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
			19	And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out# the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out# the inhabitants# of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. [drave...: or, possessed the mountain]
			20	And they gave# Hebron unto 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 unto this day.
			22	And the house of Joseph, they also went up# against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
			23	And the house of Joseph sent to descry# Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
			24	And the spies# saw# a man come forth# out of the city, and they said# unto him, Shew# us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew# thee mercy.
			25	And when he shewed# 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 thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.
			27	Neither did Manasseh drive out# the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants# of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants# of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants# of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would# dwell# in that land.
			28	And it came to pass, when Israel was strong# , that they put# the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly# drive them out# .
			29	Neither did Ephraim drive out# the Canaanites that dwelt# in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt# in Gezer among them.
			30	Neither did Zebulun drive out# the inhabitants# of Kitron, nor the inhabitants# of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt# among them, and became tributaries.
			31	Neither did Asher drive out# 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 drive them out# .
			33	Neither did Naphtali drive out# the inhabitants# of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants# of Bethanath; but he dwelt# among the Canaanites, the inhabitants# of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants# of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.
			34	And the Amorites forced# the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer# them to come down# to the valley:
			35	But the Amorites would# dwell# in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed# , so that they became tributaries. [prevailed: Heb. was heavy]
			36	And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. [the going...: or, Maalehacrabbim]
