Judah Takes the Lead
1:1 After Joshua died , the Israelites asked the Lord , “Who should lead the invasion against the Canaanites and launch the attack ?”
1:2 The Lord said , “The men of Judah should take the lead . Be sure of this! I am handing the land over to them.”
1:3 The men of Judah said to their relatives , the men of Simeon , “Invade our allotted land with us and help us attack the Canaanites . Then we will go with you into your allotted land.” So the men of Simeon went with them.
1:4 The men of Judah attacked , and the Lord handed the Canaanites and Perizzites over to them. They killed ten thousand men at Bezek .
1:5 They met Adoni-Bezek at Bezek and fought him. They defeated the Canaanites and Perizzites .
1:6 When Adoni-Bezek ran away , they chased him and captured him. Then they cut off his thumbs and big toes .
1:7 Adoni-Bezek said , “Seventy kings , with thumbs and big toes cut off , used to lick up food scraps under my table . God has repaid me for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem , where he died .
1:8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and captured it. They put the sword to it and set the city on fire .
1:9 Later the men of Judah went down to attack the Canaanites living in the hill country , the Negev , and the lowlands .
1:10 The men of Judah attacked the Canaanites living in Hebron . (Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba .) They killed Sheshai , Ahiman , and Talmai .
1:11 From there they attacked the people of Debir . (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher .)
1:12 Caleb said , “To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife .”
