Judges 1:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?"
2 The LORD answered, "Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands."
3 Then the men of Judah said to the Simeonites their brothers, "Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours." So the Simeonites went with them.
4 When Judah attacked, the LORD gave the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
5 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 Then Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
9 After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev and the western foothills.
10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron (formerly called Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.
11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).
12 And Caleb said, "I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher."
13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What can I do for you?"
15 She replied, "Do me a special favour. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." Then Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went up from the City of Palms with the men of Judah to live among the people of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.
17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites their brothers and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.
18 The men of Judah also took Gaza, Ashkelon and Ekron--each city with its territory.
19 The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots.
20 As Moses had promised, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.
21 The Benjamites, however, failed to dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.
22 Now the house of Joseph attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),
24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, "Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well."
25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared the man and his whole family.
26 He then went to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 But Manasseh did not drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor or Ibleam or Megiddo and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labour but never drove them out completely.
29 Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.
30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, who remained among them; but they did subject them to forced labour.
31 Nor did Asher drive out those living in Acco or Sidon or Ahlab or Aczib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob,
32 and because of this the people of Asher lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land.
33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh or Beth Anath; but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced labourers for them.
34 The Amorites confined the Danites to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.
35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres, Aijalon and Shaalbim, but when the power of the house of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labour.
36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass to Sela and beyond.
1 Now after H310 PREP the death H4194 of Joshua H3091 it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that the children H1121 of Israel H3478 asked H7592 the LORD H3068 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Who H4310 IPRO shall go up H5927 VQY3MS for us against H413 PREP the Canaanites H3669 first H8462 BD-NFS , to fight H3898 against them ?
2 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Judah H3063 shall go up H5927 VQY3MS : behold H2009 IJEC , I have delivered H5414 VQQ1MS the land H776 D-GFS into his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS .
3 And Judah H3063 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Simeon H8095 his brother H251 CMS-3MS , Come up H5927 with H854 PREP-1MS me into my lot H1486 , that we may fight H3898 against the Canaanites H3669 ; and I H589 PPRO-1MS likewise H1571 CONJ will go H1980 with H854 PART-2MS thee into thy lot H1486 . So Simeon H8095 went H1980 W-VQY3MS with H854 PREP-3MS him .
4 And Judah H3063 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS ; and the LORD H3068 EDS delivered H5414 W-VQQ3MS the Canaanites H3669 and the Perizzites H6522 WD-EMS into their hand H3027 : and they slew H5221 of them in Bezek H966 ten H6235 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS .
5 And they found H4672 Adoni H137 - bezek in Bezek H966 : and they fought H3898 against him , and they slew H5221 W-VHY3MP the Canaanites H3669 and the Perizzites H6522 .
6 But Adoni H137 - bezek fled H5127 ; and they pursued H7291 after H310 PREP-3MS him , and caught H270 him , and cut off H7112 his thumbs H931 and his great toes H7272 .
7 And Adoni H137 - bezek said H559 W-VQY3MS , Threescore and ten H7657 ONUM kings H4428 NMP , having their thumbs H931 and their great toes H7272 cut off H7112 , gathered H3950 their meat under H8478 NMS my table H7979 : as H834 K-RPRO I have done H6213 VQQ1MS , so H3651 ADV God H430 EDP hath requited H7999 me . And they brought H935 him to Jerusalem H3389 , and there H8033 ADV he died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
8 Now 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 L-CMS of the sword H2719 NFS , and set H7971 the city H5892 D-GFS on fire H784 .
9 And afterward H310 W-ADV the children H1121 of Judah H3063 went down H3381 to fight H3898 against the Canaanites H3669 , that dwelt H3427 VQPMS in the mountain H2022 , and in the south H5045 , and in the valley H8219 .
10 And Judah H3063 went H1980 W-VQY3MS against H3413 the Canaanites H3669 that dwelt H3427 in Hebron H2275 B-EFS : (now the name H8034 W-CMS of Hebron H2275 before H6440 L-NMP was Kirjath H7153 - arba : ) and they slew H5221 W-VHY3MP Sheshai H8344 , and Ahiman H289 , and Talmai H8526 .
11 And from thence H8033 M-ADV he went H1980 W-VQY3MS against H413 PREP the inhabitants H3427 of Debir H1688 : and the name H8034 W-CMS of Debir H1688 before H6440 L-NMP was Kirjath H7158 - sepher :
12 And Caleb H3612 said H559 W-VQY3MS , He that H834 RPRO smiteth H5221 Kirjath H7158 - sepher , and taketh H3920 it , to him will I give H5414 Achsah H5919 my daughter H1323 to wife H802 .
13 And Othniel H6274 the son H1121 of Kenaz H7073 , Caleb H3612 \'s younger H6996 D-AMS brother H251 CMS , took H3920 it : and he gave H5414 W-VQY3MS him Achsah H5919 his daughter H1323 to wife H802 .
14 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when she came H935 to him , that she moved H5496 him to ask H7592 of her father H1 a field H7704 D-NMS : and she lighted H6795 from off H5921 M-PREP her ass H2543 ; and Caleb H3612 said H559 unto her , What H4100 IPRO wilt thou ?
15 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto him , Give H3051 me a blessing H1293 : for H3588 CONJ thou hast given H5414 me a south H5045 D-NMS land H776 GFS ; give H5414 me also springs H1543 of water H4325 NMD . And Caleb H3612 gave H5414 W-VQY3MS her the upper H5942 springs H1543 and the nether H8482 AFS springs H1543 .
16 And the children H1121 W-CMP of the Kenite H7017 , Moses H4872 \' father H2859 - in - law , went up H5927 out of the city H5892 M-NFS of palm trees H8558 with H854 PREP the children H1121 W-CMP of Judah H3063 into the wilderness H4057 of Judah H3063 , which H834 RPRO lieth in the south H5045 of Arad H6166 ; and they went H1980 W-VQY3MS and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS among H854 PREP the people H5971 D-NMS .
17 And Judah H3063 went H1980 W-VQY3MS with H854 PREP Simeon H8095 his brother H251 CMS-3MS , and they slew H5221 W-VHY3MP the Canaanites H3669 that inhabited H3427 VQPMS Zephath H6857 , and utterly destroyed H2763 it . And the name H8034 CMS of the city H5892 D-GFS was called H7121 W-VQY3MS Hormah H2767 .
18 Also Judah H3063 took H3920 Gaza H5804 LFS with H853 PART the coast H1366 thereof , and Askelon H831 with the coast H1366 thereof , and Ekron H6138 with the coast H1366 thereof .
19 And the LORD H3068 EDS was H1961 W-VQY3MS with H854 PREP Judah H3063 ; and he drove out H3423 the inhabitants of the mountain H2022 ; but H3588 CONJ could not H3808 NADV drive out H3423 the inhabitants H3427 of the valley H6010 , because H3588 CONJ they had chariots H7393 of iron H1270 NMS .
20 And they gave H5414 W-VQY3MP Hebron H2275 unto Caleb H3612 , as H834 K-RPRO Moses H4872 said H1696 VPQ3MS : and he expelled H3423 thence H8033 M-ADV the three H7969 NFS sons H1121 of Anak H6061 .
21 And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 did not H3808 NADV drive out H3423 the Jebusites H2983 D-TMS that inhabited H3427 VQPMS Jerusalem H3389 ; but the Jebusites H2983 D-TMS dwell H3427 W-VQY3MS with H854 PREP the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 in Jerusalem H3389 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
22 And the house H1004 CMS of Joseph H3130 , they H1992 PPRO-3MP also H1571 CONJ went up H5927 against Bethel H1008 LFS : and the LORD H3068 W-EDS was with H5973 them .
23 And the house H1004 CMS of Joseph H3130 sent to descry H8446 Bethel H1008 . (Now the name H8034 W-CMS of the city H5892 D-GFS before H6440 L-NMP was Luz H3870 . )
24 And the spies H8104 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP a man H376 NMS come forth H3318 out of H4480 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , and they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , Show H7200 us , we pray thee H4994 IJEC , the entrance H3996 into the city H5892 D-GFS , and we will show H6213 thee mercy H2617 .
25 And when he showed H7200 them the entrance H3996 into the city H5892 D-GFS , they smote H5221 W-VHY3MP the city H5892 D-GFS with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 NFS ; but they let go H7971 VPQ3MP the man H376 D-NMS and all H3605 NMS his family H4940 .
26 And the man H376 D-NMS went H1980 W-VQY3MS into the land H776 GFS of the Hittites H2850 , and built H1129 W-VQY3MS a city H5892 GFS , and called H7121 W-VQY3MS the name H8034 CMS-3FS thereof Luz H3870 : which H1931 PPRO-3MS is the name H8034 CMS-3FS thereof unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .

28 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS , when H3588 CONJ Israel H3478 was strong H2388 , that they put H7760 W-VQY3MS the Canaanites H3669 to tribute H4522 , and did not H3808 NADV utterly drive them out H3423 .
29 Neither H3808 NADV did Ephraim H669 drive out H3423 the Canaanites H3669 that dwelt H3427 in Gezer H1507 ; but the Canaanites H3669 dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS in Gezer H1507 among H7130 them .
30 Neither H3808 NADV 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 W-VQY3MS among H7130 them , and became H1961 W-VQY3MP tributaries H4522 .
31 Neither H3808 NADV 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 :
32 But the Asherites H843 dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS among H7130 the Canaanites H3669 , the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS : for H3588 CONJ they did not H3808 NADV drive them out H3423 .
33 Neither H3808 ADV did Naphtali H5321 drive out H3423 the inhabitants H3427 of Beth H1053 - shemesh , nor the inhabitants H3427 of Beth H1043 - anath ; but he dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS among H7130 the Canaanites H3669 , the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS : nevertheless the inhabitants H3427 of Beth H1053 - shemesh and of Beth H1043 - anath became H1961 VQQ3MP tributaries H4522 unto them .
34 And the Amorites H567 D-TMS forced H3905 the children H1121 of Dan H1835 into the mountain H2022 D-NMS-3FS : for H3588 CONJ they would not H3808 NADV suffer H5414 them to come down H3381 to the valley H6010 :
35 But the Amorites H567 would H2974 dwell H3427 L-VQFC in mount H2022 Heres H2776 in Aijalon H357 , and in Shaalbim H8169 : yet the hand H3027 CFS of the house H1004 CMS of Joseph H3130 prevailed H3513 , so that they became H1961 W-VQY3MP tributaries H4522 .
36 And the coast H1366 of the Amorites H567 D-TMS was from the going up H4608 to Akrabbim H6137 , from the rock H5553 , and upward H4605 .
