18 The men of Judah captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, and the territory surrounding each of these cities.[a]

19 The Lord was with the men of Judah. They conquered[b] the hill country, but they could not[c] conquer the people living in the coastal plain, because they had chariots with iron-rimmed wheels.[d] 20 Caleb received[e] Hebron, just as Moses had promised. He drove out the three Anakites.
