And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.
18
Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.
19
So the Lord was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.
20
And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he expelled from there the three sons of Anak.
21
But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22
And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23
So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.)
24
And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy."
25
So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
26
And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
27
However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
