1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua that the children of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Which of us shall go up against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, and let us fight against the Canaanites, and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot; and Simeon went with him.
4 And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.
5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 And 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, Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gleaned under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9 And afterwards the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron-the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; and they slew Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
12 And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
14 And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had gone up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it; and they called the name of the city Hormah.
18 And Judah took Gazah and its border, and Ashkelon and its border, and Ekron and its border.
19 And Jehovah was with Judah; and he took possession of the hill-country, for he did not dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20 And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said; and he dispossessed from thence the three sons of Anak.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not dispossess the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Jehovah was with them.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz.
24 And the guards saw a man come forth out of the city, and said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, how {we} may enter into the city, and we will shew thee kindness.
25 And he shewed them how to enter into the city. And 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 its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 And Manasseh did not dispossess Beth-shean and its dependent villages, nor Taanach and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 And it came to pass when Israel became strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
29 And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer.
30 Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
31 Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor Ahlab, nor Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor Rehob;
32 and the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not dispossess them.
33 Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; and he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country, for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley.
35 And the Amorites would dwell on mount Heres, in Ajalon and in Shaalbim; but the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, and they became tributaries.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upwards.
1 约书亚死后， 以色列人求问耶和华说： "谁要为我们首先去攻打迦南人， 与他们作战呢？"
2 耶和华回答： "犹大要先上去， 看哪， 我已经把那地交在他手中。"
3 犹大对自己的兄弟西缅说： "请你与我一同上我抽签所得的地业去， 我们好与迦南人交战； 以后我也与你一同到你抽签所得的地业去。"于是西缅与他一同去了。
4 犹大上去了； 耶和华就把迦南人和比利洗人交在他们手中； 他们在比色击杀了一万人。
5 他们在那里遇见了比色王， 就与他交战， 击杀了迦南人和比利洗人。
6 比色王逃跑； 他们追赶他， 把他捉住， 砍去了他手脚的大拇指。
7 比色王说： "从前有七十个王， 手脚的大拇指都被我砍去， 在我的桌子底下拾取食物； 现在 神照着我所行的， 报应我了。"于是他们把他带到耶路撒冷， 后来他就死在那里。
8 犹大人攻打耶路撒冷， 把城占领， 用刀击杀了城中的居民， 又放火烧城。
9 后来， 犹大人下去， 与住在山地、南地和高原的迦南人交战。
10 犹大人又去攻击住在希伯仑的迦南人， 杀了示筛、亚希幔和挞买； 希伯仑从前名叫基列．亚巴。
11 他们从那里又去攻击底璧的居民； 底璧从前名叫基列．西弗。
12 迦勒说： "谁能攻打基列．西弗， 把城攻取， 我就把我的女儿押撒给他作妻子。"
13 迦勒的弟弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂攻取了那城， 迦勒就把自己的女儿押撒给他作妻子。
14 押撒出嫁的时候， 她劝俄陀聂向她父亲求一块田； 押撒一下驴， 迦勒就对她说： "你要什么？"
15 她回答： "请你给我一份礼物； 你既然把我安置在南地， 求你也把水泉赐给我。"迦勒就把上泉和下泉都给了她。
16 摩西岳父的子孙基尼人， 和犹大人一同离开棕树城， 上到亚拉得以南的犹大旷野去， 住在那里的人民中。
17 犹大与他的兄弟西缅同去， 击杀了住在洗法的迦南人， 把那城完全毁灭。那城的名字就叫何珥玛。
18 犹大又攻取了迦萨和迦萨的四境， 亚实基伦和亚实基伦的四境， 以革伦和以革伦的四境。
19 耶和华与犹大同在， 犹大就占领了山地； 但不能赶走平原的居民， 因为他们有铁车。
20 犹大照着摩西的吩咐， 把希伯仑给了迦勒； 迦勒就从那里赶走亚衲子孙的三族。
21 便雅悯人没有赶走住在耶路撒冷的耶布斯人， 所以耶布斯人与便雅悯人一同住在耶路撒冷， 直到今日。
22 约瑟家也上去攻打伯特利； 耶和华与他们同在。
23 约瑟家派人去窥探伯特利。那城从前的名字叫路斯。
24 窥探的人看见一个人从城里出来， 就对他说： "请你把进城的路指示我们， 我们必恩待你。"
25 那人把进城的路指示了他们， 他们就用刀击杀了那城的居民， 却把那人和他的全家都放走。
26 那人到赫人之地去了， 筑了一座城， 给它起名叫路斯； 直到今日那城还叫这名。
27 玛拿西没有赶走伯．善和属于伯．善的乡村的居民， 他纳和属于他纳的乡村的居民， 多珥和属于多珥的乡村的居民， 以伯莲和属于以伯莲的乡村的居民， 米吉多和属于米吉多的乡村的居民； 迦南人决意住在那地。
28 到以色列强盛了， 就迫使迦南人作苦工， 但没有把他们完全赶走。
29 以法莲也没有把住在基色的迦南人赶走， 于是迦南人还住在基色， 在以法莲中间。
30 西布伦没有把基伦的居民和拿哈拉的居民赶走； 于是迦南人还住在西布伦中间， 成了作苦工的人。
31 亚设没有把亚柯的居民和西顿的居民赶走， 也没有把亚黑拉、亚革悉、黑巴、亚弗革和利合的居民赶走。
32 于是亚设人住在当地的居民迦南人中间， 因为他们没有把他们赶走。
33 拿弗他利没有把伯．示麦的居民和伯．亚纳的居民赶走； 于是他们就住在当地的居民迦南人中间； 伯．示麦和伯．亚纳的居民成了给他们作苦工的人。
34 亚摩利人强迫但人退回山地上， 不容他们下到平原来。
35 亚摩利人决意住在希烈山、亚雅伦和沙宾； 但约瑟家的势力强大以后， 他们就成了作苦工的人。
36 亚摩利人的境界， 是从亚克拉滨山坡， 从西拉直上。
