Judges 1:1-26

1:1

Now after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Joshua
<03091>

it came to pass, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

asked
<07592> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Who shall go up
<05927> (8799)

for us against the Canaanites
<03669>

first
<08462>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them?

1:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Judah
<03063>

shall go up
<05927> (8799)_:

behold, I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

the land
<0776>

into his hand
<03027>_.

1:3

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Simeon
<08095>

his brother
<0251>_,

Come up
<05927> (8798)

with me into my lot
<01486>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

against the Canaanites
<03669>_;

and I likewise will go
<01980> (8804)

with thee into thy lot
<01486>_.

So Simeon
<08095>

went
<03212> (8799)

with him.

1:4

And Judah
<03063>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>

into their hand
<03027>_:

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

of them in Bezek
<0966>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

1:5

And they found
<04672> (8799)

Adonibezek
<0137>

in Bezek
<0966>_:

and they fought
<03898> (8735)

against him, and they slew
<05221> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>_.

1:6

But Adonibezek
<0137>

fled
<05127> (8799)_;

and they pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and caught
<0270> (8799)

him, and cut off
<07112> (8762)

his thumbs
<0931> <03027>

and his great toes
<07272>_.

1:7

And Adonibezek
<0137>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Threescore and ten
<07657>

kings
<04428>_,

having their thumbs
<0931> <03027>

and their great toes
<07272>

cut off
<07112> (8794)_,

gathered
<03950> (8764)

[their meat] under my table
<07979>_:

as I have done
<06213> (8804)_,

so God
<0430>

hath requited
<07999> (8765)

me. And they brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and there he died
<04191> (8799)_.

{their thumbs...: Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet} {gathered: or, gleaned}

1:8

Now the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

had fought
<03898> (8735)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and had taken
<03920> (8799)

it, and smitten
<05221> (8686)

it with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and set
<07971> (8765)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_.

1:9

And afterward
<0310>

the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

went down
<03381> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the Canaanites
<03669>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the mountain
<02022>_,

and in the south
<05045>_,

and in the valley
<08219>_.

{valley: or, low country}

1:10

And Judah
<03063>

went
<03212> (8799)

against the Canaanites
<03669>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Hebron
<02275>_:

(now the name
<08034>

of Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

[was] Kirjatharba
<07153>:)

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

Sheshai
<08344>_,

and Ahiman
<0289>_,

and Talmai
<08526>_.

1:11

And from thence he went
<03212> (8799)

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Debir
<01688>_:

and the name
<08034>

of Debir
<01688>

before
<06440>

[was] Kirjathsepher
<07158>_:

1:12

And Caleb
<03612>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

He that smiteth
<05221> (8686)

Kirjathsepher
<07158>_,

and taketh
<03920> (8804)

it, to him will I give
<05414> (8804)

Achsah
<05915>

my daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

1:13

And Othniel
<06274>

the son
<01121>

of Kenaz
<07073>_,

Caleb's
<03612>

younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>_,

took
<03920> (8799)

it: and he gave
<05414> (8799)

him Achsah
<05915>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

1:14

And it came to pass, when she came
<0935> (8800)

[to him], that she moved
<05496> (8686)

him to ask
<07592> (8800)

of her father
<01>

a field
<07704>_:

and she lighted
<06795> (8799)

from off [her] ass
<02543>_;

and Caleb
<03612>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What wilt thou?

1:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Give
<03051> (8798)

me a blessing
<01293>_:

for thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

me a south
<05045>

land
<0776>_;

give
<05414> (8804)

me also springs
<01543>

of water
<04325>_.

And Caleb
<03612>

gave
<05414> (8799)

her the upper
<05942>

springs
<01543>

and the nether
<08482>

springs
<01543>_.

1:16

And the children
<01121>

of the Kenite
<07017>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

went up
<05927> (8804)

out of the city
<05892>

of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>

with the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

into the wilderness
<04057>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which [lieth] in the south
<05045>

of Arad
<06166>_;

and they went
<03212> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<0854>

the people
<05971>_.

1:17

And Judah
<03063>

went
<03212> (8799)

with Simeon
<08095>

his brother
<0251>_,

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>

that inhabited
<03427> (8802)

Zephath
<06857>_,

and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)

it. And the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Hormah
<02767>_.

1:18

Also Judah
<03063>

took
<03920> (8799)

Gaza
<05804>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof, and Askelon
<0831>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof, and Ekron
<06138>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof.

1:19

And the LORD
<03068>

was with Judah
<03063>_;

and he drave out
<03423> (8686)

[the inhabitants of] the mountain
<02022>_;

but could not
<03808>

drive out
<03423> (8687)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the valley
<06010>_,

because they had chariots
<07393>

of iron
<01270>_.

{drave...: or, possessed the mountain}

1:20

And they gave
<05414> (8799)

Hebron
<02275>

unto Caleb
<03612>_,

as Moses
<04872>

said
<01696> (8765)_:

and he expelled
<03423> (8686)

thence the three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

of Anak
<06061>_.

1:21

And the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

did not drive out
<03423> (8689)

the Jebusites
<02983>

that inhabited
<03427> (8802)

Jerusalem
<03389>_;

but the Jebusites
<02983>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

with the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

unto this day
<03117>_.

1:22

And the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

they also went up
<05927> (8799)

against Bethel
<01008>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

[was] with them.

1:23

And the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

sent to descry
<08446> (8686)

Bethel
<01008>_.

(Now the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

before
<06440>

[was] Luz
<03870>.)

1:24

And the spies
<08104> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

a man
<0376>

come forth
<03318> (8802)

out of the city
<05892>_,

and they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Shew
<07200> (8685)

us, we pray thee, the entrance
<03996>

into the city
<05892>_,

and we will shew
<06213> (8804)

thee mercy
<02617>_.

1:25

And when he shewed
<07200> (8686)

them the entrance
<03996>

into the city
<05892>_,

they smote
<05221> (8686)

the city
<05892>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

but they let go
<07971> (8765)

the man
<0376>

and all his family
<04940>_.

1:26

And the man
<0376>

went
<03212> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

a city
<05892>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Luz
<03870>_:

which [is] the name
<08034>

thereof unto this day
<03117>_.
