1After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the Lord , “Who should go up against the Canaanites first, in order to wage war against them?”[#Nu 27:21; #Jdg 20:18]
2The Lord said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have given the land into their hands.”
3Then the men of Judah said to Simeon, their brothers, “Come up with us into our allotted territory. We will wage war against the Canaanites. Likewise we will go with you into your allotted territory.” So Simeon went with them.[#Jos 19:9; Jdg 1:17]
4Then Judah went up, and the Lord gave the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands. They struck down ten thousand men in Bezek.[#1Sa 11:8]
5They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek and fought against him. They struck down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6Yet Adoni-Bezek fled, and they chased after him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings whose thumbs and big toes were cut off once collected scraps of food under my table. Just as I have done, so God has repaid me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.[#1Sa 15:33]
8Then Judah waged war against Jerusalem. They captured it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and sent the city up in flames.[#Jos 15:63; Jdg 1:21]
9Afterwards, Judah went down to wage war against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev, and the lowlands.
10Judah went against the Canaanites living in Hebron (previously the name of Hebron was Kiriath-arba) and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.[#Jos 14:15; #Nu 13:22]
11From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir (previously the name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher).[#Jos 15:15]
12Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him my daughter Aksah as wife.”
13Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, captured it. So Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter in marriage.[#Jdg 3:9]
14When she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What can I do for you?”
15She answered, “Please give me a special gift. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
16The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the descendants of Judah from the City of Palms to the Negev near Arad. Then they went and lived with the people.[#Nu 10:29–32; #Dt 34:3; #Nu 21:1]
17But Judah went with his brother Simeon and struck down the Canaanites living in Zephath and utterly destroyed it. So now they call the city Hormah.[#Nu 21:3]
18Then Judah captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, and the territory belonging to each of these cities.[#Jos 11:22]
19The Lord was with Judah, and they took the hill country but could not drive out the inhabitants of the coastal plain, for they had iron chariots.[#Jdg 1:2]
20They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak.[#Jos 15:13–14; Jdg 1:10]
21However, the tribe of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live with the tribe of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.[#Jos 15:63]
22The descendants of Joseph went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.[#Jdg 1:19]
23The descendants of Joseph sent spies into Bethel (the former name of the city was Luz).[#Ge 28:19; 35:6]
24The spies saw a man coming out of the city and said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
25So he showed them an entrance to the city. They struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and his extended family go.
26The man went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city and named it Luz, and that is its name to this day.
27Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, or their daughter villages, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.[#Jos 17:11–13]
28When the Israelites became strong, they put the Canaanites to hard labor as slaves, but they did not actually drive them out.
29Ephraim did not drive out the inhabitants of Gezer, so the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer.[#Jos 16:10; 1Ki 9:16]
30Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them and became slave laborers.
31Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Akko, Sidon, Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.[#Jos 19:24–30]
32Asher lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
33Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh or Beth-anath, so they live among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. The Canaanites of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became slave laborers for them.[#Jos 19:32–38]
34The Amorites pushed the tribe of Dan into the hill country, for they would not let them come down to the coastal plain.[#Jos 19:47]
35The Amorites were determined to live in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but the hand of the descendants of Joseph was heavy on them, and they became slave laborers.[#Jos 19:42]
36The border of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond.[#Nu 34:4]
