1 Stalo se pak po smrti Jozue, otázali se synové Izraelští Hospodina, řkouce: Kdo z nás potáhne proti Kananejskému napřed, aby bojoval s ním?
2 Jimž řekl Hospodin: Juda nechť táhne, aj, dal jsem tu zemi v ruku jeho.
3 (Řekl pak byl Juda Simeonovi bratru svému: Potáhni se mnou k dobývání losu mého, abychom bojovali proti Kananejskému, a já také potáhnu s tebou k dobývání losu tvého. I táhl s ním Simeon.
4 Tedy vytáhl Juda, i dal Hospodin Kananejského a Ferezejského v ruce jejich, a porazili z nich v Bezeku deset tisíc mužů.
5 Nebo nalezše Adonibezeka v Bezeku, bojovali proti němu, a porazili Kananejského i Ferezejského.
6 Když pak utíkal Adonibezek, honili ho, a chytivše jej, zutínali mu palce u rukou i noh.
7 Tedy řekl Adonibezek: Sedmdesáte králů s uťatými palci u rukou i noh svých sbírali drobty pod stolem mým; jakž jsem činil, tak odplatil mi Bůh. I přivedli jej do Jeruzaléma, a tam umřel.
8 Nebo byli vybojovali synové Juda Jeruzalém, a vzavše jej, zbili obyvatele jeho ostrostí meče a město vypálili.
9 Potom také vytáhli synové Judovi, aby bojovali proti Kananejskému, bydlícímu na horách při straně polední i na rovinách.
10 Nebo byl vytáhl Juda proti Kananejskému, kterýž bydlil v Hebronu, (jméno pak Hebronu prvé bylo Kariatarbe,) a pobil Sesaie, a Achimana, a Tolmaie.
11 A odtud byl táhl na obyvatele Dabir, (jméno pak Dabir prvé bylo Kariatsefer).
12 Kdežto řekl Kálef: Kdo by dobyl Kariatsefer a vzal by je, dám jemu Axu dceru svou za manželku.
13 Tedy dobyl ho Otoniel, syn Cenezův, bratra Kálefova mladšího, i dal jemu Axu dceru svou za manželku.
14 Stalo se pak, že když přišla k němu, ponukla ho, aby prosil otce jejího za pole; i ssedla s osla. A řekl jí Kálef: Cožť jest?
15 A ona odpověděla: Dej mi dar; poněvadžs mi dal zemi suchou, dej mi také studnice vod. I dal jí Kálef studnice v horních i dolních končinách.
16 Synové také Cinejského, tchána Mojžíšova, odebrali se z města palmového s syny Juda na poušť Judovu, jenž jest k straně polední městu Arad; a odšedše, bydlili s lidem tím.
17 Potom táhl Juda s Simeonem, bratrem svým, a porazili Kananejské přebývající v Sefat, a zkazili je. I nazváno jest jméno města toho Horma.
18 Dobyl také Juda Gázy a pomezí jeho, i Aškalonu s pomezím jeho, též Akaronu a pomezí jeho.
19 Nebo byl Hospodin s Judou, a vyhnal obyvatele hor, ale nevyhnal obyvatelů údolí, proto že vozy železné měli.
20 I dali Kálefovi Hebron, jakož byl mluvil Mojžíš, a vyhnal odtud tři syny Enakovy.
21 Jebuzejského pak, bydlícího v Jeruzalémě, nevyhnali synové Beniamin; protož bydlil Jebuzejský v Jeruzalémě s syny Beniamin až do tohoto dne.
22 Vytáhla také i čeled Jozefova do Bethel, a Hospodin byl s nimi.
23 Nebo shlédla čeled Jozefova Bethel, kteréhožto města jméno prvé bylo Lůza.
24 Uzřevše pak ti špehéři muže vycházejícího z města, řekli jemu: Medle ukaž nám, kudy bychom mohli vjíti do města, a učinímeť milost.
25 Kterýžto ukázal jim, kudy by mohli vjíti do města; i vyhubili to město mečem, muže pak toho se vší čeledí jeho propustili.
26 I šel muž ten do země Hetejských, kdež vystavěl město, a nazval jméno jeho Lůza; to jest jméno jeho až do tohoto dne.
27 Manasses také nevyhnal obyvatelů Betsan a městeček jeho, ani Tanach a městeček jeho, ani obyvatelů Dor a Jibleam, a Mageddo a městeček jejich; i počal Kananejský svobodně bydliti v zemi té.
28 Když se pak zsilil Izrael, uvedl Kananejského pod plat, a maje jej vyhnati, nevyhnal.
29 Efraim také nevyhnal Kananejského bydlícího v Gázer, protož bydlil Kananejský u prostřed něho v Gázer.
30 Zabulon též nevyhnal obyvatelů Cetron, a obyvatelů Naalol, protož bydlil Kananejský u prostřed něho, a dával jemu plat.
31 Asser také nevyhnal obyvatelů Acho a obyvatelů Sidonu, ani Ahalab, ani Achzib, ani Helba, ani Afek, ani Rohob.
32 I bydlil Asser mezi Kananejskými obyvateli země té, nebo nevyhnal jich.
33 Též Neftalím nevyhnal obyvatelů Betsemes, ani obyvatelů Betanat, protož bydlil mezi Kananajeskými přebývajícími v zemi té; a však obyvatelé Betsemes a Betanat dávali jim plat.
34 Ssužovali pak Amorejští syny Dan na horách, tak že nedali jim scházeti do údolí.
35 Nebo počal Amorejský svobodně bydliti na hoře Heres, v Aialon a v Salbim, ale když se zsilila ruka čeledi Jozefovy, uvedeni jsou pod plat.
36 Pomezí pak Amorejského bylo od začátku hor Akrabim, od skály jejich i výše.
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 Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 7 And Adoni-bezek 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. 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. 10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) 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 Kirjath-sepher: 12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, 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. 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 Beth-el: and the LORD was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (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 Beth-shean 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 Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath 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. 36 And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
