Novas conquistas pelas tribos
1 E sucedeu, depois da morte de Josué, que os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Quem dentre nós primeiro subirá aos cananeus, para pelejar contra eles? 2 E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá; eis que lhe dei esta terra na sua mão. 3 Então, disse Judá a Simeão, seu irmão: Sobe comigo à herdade que me caiu por sorte, e pelejemos contra os cananeus, e também eu contigo subirei à tua, que te caiu por sorte. E Simeão partiu com ele. 4 E subiu Judá, e o Senhor lhe deu na sua mão os cananeus e os ferezeus; e feriram deles em Bezeque a dez mil homens. 5 E acharam a Adoni-Bezeque em Bezeque, e pelejaram contra ele, e feriram aos cananeus e aos ferezeus. 6 Porém Adoni-Bezeque fugiu; e o seguiram, e o prenderam, e lhe cortaram os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés. 7 Então, disse Adoni-Bezeque: Setenta reis, com os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés cortados, apanhavam as migalhas debaixo da minha mesa; assim como eu fiz, assim Deus me pagou. E o trouxeram a Jerusalém, e morreu ali.
8 Porque os filhos de Judá pelejaram contra Jerusalém, e a tomaram, e a feriram a fio de espada, e à cidade puseram a fogo. 9 E, depois, os filhos de Judá desceram a pelejar contra os cananeus que habitavam nas montanhas, e no sul, e nas planícies. 10 E partiu Judá contra os cananeus que habitavam em Hebrom (era, porém, dantes, o nome de Hebrom Quiriate-Arba), e feriram a Sesai, e a Aimã, e a Talmai.
11 E, dali, partiu contra os moradores de Debir (e era, dantes, o nome de Debir Quiriate-Sefer). 12 E disse Calebe: Quem ferir a Quiriate-Sefer e a tomar, lhe darei a minha filha Acsa por mulher. 13 E tomou-a Otniel, filho de Quenaz, o irmão de Calebe, mais novo do que ele; e Calebe lhe deu a sua filha Acsa por mulher. 14 E sucedeu que, vindo ela a ele, o persuadiu a que pedisse um campo a seu pai; e ela se apeou do jumento, saltando; e Calebe lhe disse: Que é o que tens? 15 E ela lhe disse: Dá-me uma bênção, pois me deste uma terra seca; dá-me também fontes de águas. E Calebe lhe deu as fontes superiores e as fontes inferiores.
16 Também os filhos do queneu, sogro de Moisés, subiram da cidade das Palmeiras com os filhos de Judá ao deserto de Judá, que está ao sul de Arade; e foram e habitaram com o povo. 17 Foi-se, pois, Judá com Simeão, seu irmão, e feriram aos cananeus que habitavam em Zefate, e totalmente a destruíram, e chamaram o nome desta cidade Horma. 18 Tomou mais Judá a Gaza com o seu termo, e a Asquelom com o seu termo, e a Ecrom com o seu termo. 19 E foi o Senhor com Judá, e despovoou as montanhas; porém não expeliu os moradores do vale, porquanto tinham carros de ferro. 20 E deram Hebrom a Calebe, como Moisés o dissera, e dali expeliu os três filhos de Anaque.
21 Porém os filhos de Benjamim não expeliram os jebuseus que habitavam em Jerusalém; antes, os jebuseus habitaram com os filhos de Benjamim em Jerusalém até ao dia de hoje.
22 E subiu também a casa de José a Betel, e foi o Senhor com eles. 23 E fez a casa de José espiar a Betel (e foi dantes o nome desta cidade Luz). 24 E viram os espias um homem que saía da cidade e lhe disseram: Ora, mostra-nos a entrada da cidade, e usaremos contigo de beneficência. 25 E, mostrando-lhes ele a entrada da cidade, feriram a cidade a fio de espada; porém àquele homem e a toda a sua família deixaram ir. 26 Então, aquele homem foi-se à terra dos heteus, e edificou uma cidade, e chamou o seu nome Luz; este é o seu nome até o dia de hoje.
27 Nem Manassés expeliu os habitantes de Bete-Seã, nem dos lugares da sua jurisdição; nem a Taanaque, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Dor, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Ibleão, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Megido, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; e quiseram os cananeus habitar na mesma terra. 28 E sucedeu que, quando Israel cobrou mais forças, fez dos cananeus tributários, porém não os expeliu de todo.
29 Tampouco expeliu Efraim os cananeus que habitavam em Gezer; antes, os cananeus habitavam no meio dele, em Gezer.
30 Tampouco expeliu Zebulom os moradores de Quitrom, nem aos moradores de Naalol; porém os cananeus habitavam no meio dele e foram tributários.
31 Tampouco Aser expeliu os moradores de Aco, nem os moradores de Sidom, nem Alabe, nem Aczibe, nem Helba, nem Afeca, nem Reobe; 32 porém os aseritas habitaram no meio dos cananeus que habitavam na terra; porquanto os não expeliram.
33 Tampouco Naftali expeliu os moradores de Bete-Semes, nem os moradores de Bete-Anate; mas habitou no meio dos cananeus que habitavam na terra; porém lhes foram tributários os moradores de Bete-Semes e os de Bete-Anate.
34 E apertaram os amorreus aos filhos de Dã até às montanhas; porque nem os deixavam descer ao vale. 35 Também os amorreus quiseram habitar nas montanhas de Heres, em Aijalom e em Saalabim; porém prevaleceu a mão da casa de José, e ficaram tributários. 36 E foi o termo dos amorreus desde a subida de Acrabim, e desde a penha, e dali para cima.
Judges 1
New King James Version
The Continuing Conquest of Canaan(A)
1 Now after the (B)death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel (C)asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the (D)Canaanites to fight against them?”
2 And the Lord said, (E)“Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.”
3 So Judah said to (F)Simeon his brother, “Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and (G)I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory.” And Simeon went with him. 4 Then Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they killed ten thousand men at (H)Bezek. 5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6 Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. 7 And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; (I)as I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Now (J)the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. 9 (K)And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the [a]South, and in the lowland. 10 Then Judah [b]went against the Canaanites who dwelt in (L)Hebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly (M)Kirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 (N)From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.)
12 (O)Then Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife.” 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, (P)Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife. 14 (Q)Now it happened, when she came to him, that [c]she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?” 15 So she said to him, (R)“Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.”
And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 (S)Now the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up (T)from the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near (U)Arad; (V)and they went and dwelt among the people. 17 (W)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 (X)Hormah. 18 Also Judah took (Y)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 (Z)chariots of iron. 20 (AA)And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he [d]expelled from there the (AB)three sons of Anak. 21 (AC)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 [e]house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, (AD)and the Lord was with them. 23 So the [f]house of Joseph (AE)sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly (AF)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 (AG)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.
Incomplete Conquest of the Land
27 (AH)However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or (AI)Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of (AJ)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. 28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites [g]under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.
29 (AK)Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Nor did (AL)Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and [h]were put under tribute.
31 (AM)Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob. 32 So the Asherites (AN)dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
33 (AO)Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; 35 and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, (AP)in Aijalon, and in [i]Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they [j]were put under tribute.
36 Now the boundary of the Amorites was (AQ)from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
