00:00.000 --> 00:06.420
The Book of Judges, Chapter 1 Now after
the death of Joshua, it came to pass that

00:06.420 --> 00:10.500
the children of Israel asked the Lord,
saying, Who shall go up for us against the

00:10.500 --> 00:12.680
Canaanites first, to fight against them?

00:12.860 --> 00:15.300
And the Lord said, Judah shall go up.

00:15.920 --> 00:18.860
Behold, I have delivered the land into his
hand.

00:19.240 --> 00:24.040
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother,
Come up with me into my lot, that we may

00:24.040 --> 00:28.620
fight against the Canaanites, and I
likewise will go with thee into thy lot.

00:28.620 --> 00:32.860
So Simeon went with him, and Judah went
up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanites

00:32.860 --> 00:34.640
and the Perizzites into their hand.

00:34.960 --> 00:37.480
And they slew of them in Bezek ten
thousand men.

00:37.960 --> 00:42.400
And they found Adonai Bezek in Bezek,
and they fought against him, and they slew

00:42.400 --> 00:43.880
the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

00:44.260 --> 00:48.800
But Adonai Bezek fled, and they pursued
after him, and caught him, and cut off his

00:48.800 --> 00:49.960
thumbs and his great toes.

00:50.540 --> 00:55.500
And Adonai Bezek said, Threescore and ten
kings, having their thumbs and their great

00:55.500 --> 00:59.580
toes cut off, gathered their meat under my
table, as I have done.

01:00.480 --> 01:02.120
So God hath requited me.

01:02.720 --> 01:05.280
And they brought him to Jerusalem,
and there he died.

01:05.940 --> 01:09.140
Now the children of Judah had fought
against Jerusalem, and had taken it,

01:09.420 --> 01:12.640
and smitten it with the edge of the sword,
and set the city on fire.

01:13.220 --> 01:16.760
And afterward the children of Judah went
down to fight against the Canaanites that

01:16.760 --> 01:19.580
dwelt in the mountain, and in the south,
and in the valley.

01:19.580 --> 01:22.640
And Judah went against the Canaanites that
dwelt in Hebron.

01:23.080 --> 01:25.820
Now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath
Arba.

01:26.260 --> 01:29.660
And they slew Shishai, and Ahimon,
and Talmai.

01:30.180 --> 01:32.460
And from thence he went against the
inhabitants of Debar.

01:32.700 --> 01:35.780
And the name of Debar before was Kirjath
Sefer.

01:36.540 --> 01:43.420
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath
Sefer, and taketh it, to him will I give

01:43.420 --> 01:45.800
Aksa, my daughter, to wife.

01:45.800 --> 01:50.300
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's
younger brother, took it, and he gave him

01:50.300 --> 01:51.860
Aksa, his daughter, to wife.

01:52.440 --> 01:56.520
And it came to pass, when she came to him,
that she moved him to ask of her father a

01:56.520 --> 01:56.840
field.

01:57.300 --> 02:01.160
And she lighted from off her ass,
and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?

02:01.380 --> 02:05.580
And she said unto him, Give me a blessing,
for thou hast given me a southland.

02:05.840 --> 02:07.220
Give me also springs of water.

02:07.460 --> 02:10.080
And Caleb gave her the upper springs and
the nether springs.

02:10.760 --> 02:14.500
And the children of the Kenite,
Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the

02:14.500 --> 02:17.700
city of palm trees with the children of
Judah into the wilderness of Judah,

02:18.000 --> 02:19.520
which lieth in the south of Arad.

02:19.780 --> 02:21.620
And they went and dwelt among the people.

02:22.300 --> 02:25.760
And Judah went with Simeon his brother,
and they slew the Canaanites that

02:25.760 --> 02:28.040
inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed
it.

02:28.400 --> 02:30.440
And the name of the city was called
Hormah.

02:31.080 --> 02:35.540
Also Judah took Gaza with the coast
thereof, and Ascalon with the coast

02:35.540 --> 02:37.900
thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

02:37.900 --> 02:42.020
And the Lord was with Judah, and he drave
out the inhabitants of the mountain,

02:42.460 --> 02:46.080
but could not drive out the inhabitants of
the valley, because they had chariots of

02:46.080 --> 02:46.400
iron.

02:46.960 --> 02:51.320
And they gave Hebron unto Caleb,
as Moses said, and he expelled thence the

02:51.320 --> 02:52.400
three sons of Anak.

02:52.900 --> 02:56.420
And the children of Benjamin did not drive
out the Jebusites that inhabited

02:56.420 --> 03:00.820
Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with
the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto

03:00.820 --> 03:01.340
this day.

03:02.040 --> 03:06.200
And the house of Joseph they also went up
against Bethel, and the Lord was with

03:06.200 --> 03:06.460
them.

03:06.460 --> 03:09.180
And the house of Joseph sent to describe
Bethel.

03:09.540 --> 03:11.520
Now the name of the city before was Luz.

03:12.080 --> 03:15.900
And the spies saw a man come forth out of
the city, and they said unto him,

03:16.140 --> 03:20.320
Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into
the city, and we will show thee mercy.

03:20.800 --> 03:24.300
And when he showed them the entrance into
the city, they smote the city with the

03:24.300 --> 03:27.440
edge of the sword, but they let go the man
and all his family.

03:28.020 --> 03:32.120
And the man went into the land of the
Hittites, and built a city, and called the

03:32.120 --> 03:35.440
name thereof Luz, which is the name
thereof unto this day.

03:36.240 --> 03:40.040
Neither did Manasseh drive out the
inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns,

03:40.460 --> 03:44.600
nor Taanak and her towns, nor the
inhabitants of Dor and her towns,

03:45.000 --> 03:49.480
nor the inhabitants of Iblium and her
towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and

03:49.480 --> 03:52.440
her towns, but the Canaanites would dwell
in that land.

03:53.120 --> 03:56.860
And it came to pass when Israel was
strong, that they put the Canaanites to

03:56.860 --> 03:59.140
tribute, and did not utterly drive them
out.

03:59.720 --> 04:02.920
Neither did Ephraim drive out the
Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer,

04:03.280 --> 04:05.360
but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among
them.

04:06.100 --> 04:09.880
Neither did Zebulun drive out the
inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants

04:09.880 --> 04:13.920
of Nahalal, but the Canaanites dwelt among
them, and became tributaries.

04:14.800 --> 04:18.780
Neither did Asher drive out the
inhabitants of Acho, nor the inhabitants

04:18.780 --> 04:25.360
of Zidon, nor of Aleb, nor of Achzib,
nor of Helba, nor of Aphek, nor of Rehob,

04:25.900 --> 04:29.380
but the Asherites dwelt among the
Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land,

04:29.700 --> 04:31.060
for they did not drive them out.

04:31.840 --> 04:35.580
Neither did Naphtali drive out the
inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the

04:35.580 --> 04:40.120
inhabitants of Bethaneth, but he dwelt
among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of

04:40.120 --> 04:40.560
the land.

04:40.560 --> 04:44.480
Nevertheless, the inhabitants of
Bethshemesh and of Bethaneth became

04:44.480 --> 04:45.640
tributaries unto them.

04:46.200 --> 04:50.420
And the Amorites forced the children of
Dan into the mountain, for they would not

04:50.420 --> 04:51.920
suffer them to come down to the valley.

04:52.320 --> 04:55.760
But the Amorites would dwell in Mount
Heraz, in Ajilon, and in Shealbum.

04:56.640 --> 04:59.660
Yet the hand of the house of Joseph
prevailed, so that they became

04:59.660 --> 05:00.280
tributaries.

05:00.820 --> 05:04.440
And the coast of the Amorites was from the
going up to Akrabim, from the rock,

05:04.680 --> 05:05.060
and upward.
