RF JDG 1:1 (B.C. 1425 to 1406.)AFTER the death of Joshua the children of Israel enquired of the EVER-LIVING, "Who shall lead us against the Canaanites, to make war with them?"
RF JDG 1:2 The LORD replied, Judah shall go up, and I will give the country into his power."
RF JDG 1:3 (B.C. 1406.) Judah, however, said to Simeon his brother, "Go up with me to my district, and we will fight with the Canaanites, and then I will go with you to your district." So Simeon went with them.
RF JDG 1:4 Judah accordingly went up, and the EVER-LIVING gave the Canaanites and the Perizites into their power, and they defeated them in Bezek with a loss of ten thousand men.
RF JDG 1:5 Then they met the Prince of Bezek at Bezek and fought with him, and defeated the Canaanites and Perizites;
RF JDG 1:6 and the Prince of Bezek fled, but they pursued after and captured him, and cut off the thumbs of his hands and feet.
RF JDG 1:7 Then the Prince of Bezek said, "Seven kings, with the thumbs of their hands and feet cut off, were waiters beside my table! As I did God has repaid to me!" (They afterwards brought him to Jerusalem where he died.)
RF JDG 1:8 (B.C. 1406.) The children of Judah next besieged Jerusalem and captured and conquered it by the edge of the sword, and delivered the city to fire.
RF JDG 1:9 After that the sons of Judah proceeded to make war with the Canaanites who occupied the hills, the south, and the pastures.
RF JDG 1:10 Then Judah marched against the Canaanites who held Hebron,' and defeated Sheshi, and Akhiman, and Thalmai.
RF JDG 1:11 And marched from there to the possessors of Debir,2

1. v10. ("But the name of Hebron was formerly Krith arba") is an old editorial note of explanation.—F.F.
2. v11. ("The name of Debir was formerly Krith-sefer") is an old editorial note of explanation.—F.F.
RF JDG 1:12 where Kaleb said, "Whoever conquers Krith-sefer, and captures it, I will give him my daughter Aksa for a wife."
RF JDG 1:13 So Athnial the son of Kenez, the younger brother of Kaleb, captured it from them; and he gave Aksa his daughter to him as a wife.
RF JDG 1:14 Now as she was coming he suggested to her to ask an estate from her father,—so she dismounted from her ass, when Kaleb asked her, "What do you want?"
RF JDG 1:15 And she replied, "Give me a blessing;—with the southern land you have given me; give me springs of water." So Kaleb gave her the Upper Springs and the Lower Springs.
RF JDG 1:16 (B.C. 1405.) The sons of Keni, the father-in-law of Moses, had come up from the city of The Palm trees with the sons of Judah into the desert of Judah, which is to the south of Arad, and marched and lived with that people.
RF JDG 1:17 Then Judah went with Simeon his brother and conquered the Canaanites inhabiting Tzifath, and destroyed it,—and called the name of the town Kharmah.
RF JDG 1:18 Judah also captured Gaza, and its district, and Ashkelon. and its district, and Akron and its district,
RF JDG 1:19 for the EVER-LIVING was with Judah and he took possession of the highlands, but they could not drive out the population of the plains because they had iron chariots.
RF JDG 1:20 Hebron was given to Kaleb as Moses had promised, and he drove the three sons of Anak from it.
RF JDG 1:21 (B.C. 1420 1406.) A General Revolt by the Nations Conquered by Joshua.
But the Jebusites continued in Jerusalem, for the sons of Benjamin could not drive them out,—so the Jebusites continue to reside with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
RF JDG 1:22 The House of Joseph also went up to Bethel, and the EVER-LIVING was with them,
RF JDG 1:23 so the House of Joseph was successful against Bethel,—the name of the town was formerly Luz.
RF JDG 1:24 And the scouts saw a man who came out from the city, and said to him, "Show us, we pray, the entrance into the town and we will reward you."

V. 17. "Kharniah "=The Ruins.—F. F
RF JDG 1:25 So he showed them an entrance to the city, and they took the city with the sword, but they sent the man away with all his family,
RF JDG 1:26 who went to the country of the Hitites, and built a town and called it by the name of Luz, and it bears that name to this day.
RF JDG 1:27 (B.C. 1425 to 1406.) Manasseh also did not disperse the people of Bethshan with its villages, and Thanak with its villages, or the inhabitants of Iblam with its villages, or the population of Megiddo with its villages, but permitted the Canaanites to reside in that country.
RF JDG 1:28 But when Israel prevailed it laid the Canaanites under tribute, and did not expel them.
RF JDG 1:29 Ephraim also did not expel the Canaanite population of Ghezer, or the Canaanite population from around Ghezer.
RF JDG 1:30 Zebulon, also, did not expel the population from Kitan, the inhabitants from the riverside, or the Canaanite population from amongst itself, but put them under tribute.
RF JDG 1:31 Ashur did not expel the population from Aka, or the inhabitants of Zidon, or Akhbal, or Akzib, or Khabdah, or Afik, or Rekhob
RF JDG 1:32 but the Asherites resided amongst the Canaanite population of the country, for they did not expel them.
RF JDG 1:33 Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-shemsh. or the population of Beth-anath, but resided amongst the Canaanite population of the country; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemsh and Beth-anath were tributary to them.
RF JDG 1:34 The Amorites also resisted the sons of Gad in the Highlands, although they were not able to descend to the plains;
RF JDG 1:35 therefore they allowed the Amorites to occupy the Eastern Hills at Ailon, and Shalbim, and Thikbad alongside the house of Joseph, and they paid tribute.
RF JDG 1:36 And the boundary of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabim, from Sela and upwards.
