Judges 1:16-18

New Century Version

Fights with the Canaanites

¹⁶ The Kenite people, who were from the family of Moses’ father-in-law, left Jericho, the city of palm trees. They went with the men of Judah to the Desert of Judah to live with them there in southern Judah near the city of Arad.

¹⁷ The men of Judah and the men of Simeon, their relatives, defeated the Canaanites who lived in Zephath. They completely destroyed the city, so they called it Hormah.^{[a] 18} The men of Judah captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, and the lands around them.
