Gipildi sa Tribo ni Juda ug ni Simeon si Adoni Bezek

Human mamatay si Josue, nangutana ang mga Israelinhon sa Ginoo kon kinsang tribo ang unang makig-away sa mga Canaanhon. Mitubag ang Ginoo, “Ang tribo ni Juda, kay gitugyan ko na kanila ang maong yuta.” Busa miingon ang tribo ni Juda sa kaliwat ni Simeon nga ilang kadugo, “Tabangi ninyo kami sa pagsakop sa yuta sa mga Canaanhon nga gigahin alang kanamo kay tabangan usab namo kamo sa pagsakop sa dapit nga gigahin alang kaninyo.” Busa mitabang ang kaliwat ni Simeon sa kaliwat ni Juda sa pagpakiggira.

4-5 Sa dihang misulong ang tribo ni Juda, gipadaog sila sa Ginoo batok sa mga Canaanhon ug Perisihanon. 10,000 ka mga tawo ang ilang napatay sa Bezek. Samtang nagapakiggira sila sa Bezek, gikaingkwentro nila didto ang hari sa maong lugar nga si Adoni Bezek. Miikyas si Adoni Bezek, apan gigukod siya sa mga Israelinhon ug nadakpan siya. Giputol nila ang iyang mga kumagko sa kamot ug tiil. Miingon si Adoni Bezek, “70 ka mga hari ang gipamutlan kog kumagko sa kamot ug tiil ug namunit sa mumho ilalom sa akong lamisa. Karon, gihimo sa Dios kanako ang akong gihimo kanila.” Gidala nila si Adoni Bezek ngadto sa Jerusalem ug didto siya namatay.

Gisulong sa kaliwat ni Juda ang Jerusalem ug ila kining nailog. Gipamatay nila ang mga lumulupyo niini ug gisunog ang siyudad. Human niadto, nakiggira sila sa mga Canaanhon nga nagpuyo sa mga bukid, sa Negev, ug sa kabungtoran sa kasadpan.[a] 10 Gisulong usab nila ang mga Canaanhon nga nagpuyo sa Hebron (nga kaniadto gitawag nga Kiriat Arba), ug gipamatay nila si Sheshai, si Ahiman, ug si Talmai.

Gipildi ni Otniel ang Lungsod sa Debir

(Josue 15:13-19)

11 Gikan sa Hebron, gisulong nila ang mga lumulupyo sa Debir (nga kaniadto gitawag nga Kiriat Sefer). 12 Miingon si Caleb, “Ipaminyo ko ang akong anak nga si Acsa sa tawo nga mosulong ug makailog sa Kiriat Sefer.” 13 Si Otniel nga anak ni Kenaz nga manghod ni Caleb mao ang nakailog sa lungsod. Busa gipaminyo ni Caleb kaniya ang iyang anak nga si Acsa. 14 Sa dihang nakasal na sila, gikombinsi ni Otniel si Acsa[b] nga mangayo ug dugang nga yuta sa iyang amahan. Busa miadto si Acsa kang Caleb. Ug sa dihang nakakanaog na siya sa iyang asno, gipangutana siya ni Caleb kon unsay iyang tuyo. 15 Mitubag siya, “Hatagi akog dugang pabor. Gusto ko unta nga hatagan mo akog yuta nga may mga tuboran, tungod kay walay tuboran ang yuta nga gihatag mo kanako sa Negev.” Busa gihatag kaniya ni Caleb ang yuta nga may tuboran sa ibabaw ug sa ubos.

Ang mga Kadaogan sa Tribo ni Juda ug ni Benjamin

16 Miuban ang mga Kenihanon nga mga kaliwat sa ugangan ni Moises sa mga kaliwat ni Juda. Gikan sa lungsod sa Jerico,[c] mipaingon sila sa kamingawan sa Juda, nga atua sa Negev, duol sa Arad, ug namuyo sila uban sa mga taga-didto.

17 Unya miuban ang tribo ni Juda sa tribo ni Simeon sa pagpakiggira, ug napildi nila ang mga Canaanhon nga nagpuyo sa Zefat. Gilaglag nila sa hingpit[d] ang lungsod, busa gitawag kini nga Horma.[e] 18 Nasakop usab nila ang Gaza, Ashkelon, ug Ekron, uban sa mga teritoryo niining mga dapita.

19 Gitabangan sa Ginoo ang tribo ni Juda, busa nasakop nila ang mga bungtod. Apan wala nila maabog ang mga tawo nga nagapuyo sa mga kapatagan, tungod kay aduna kini mga karwahe nga puthaw. 20 Ug sumala sa gisaad ni Moises, ang Hebron gihatag kang Caleb. Giabog ni Caleb gikan niining dapita ang tulo ka pamilya nga kaliwat ni Anak.

21 Wala maabog sa mga kaliwat ni Benjamin ang mga Jebusihanon nga nagapuyo sa Jerusalem, busa hangtod karon kauban gihapon nila sila nga nagpuyo didto.

Gisakop sa Duha ka Tribo ni Jose ang Betel

22-23 Unya, misulong usab ang tribo ni Jose sa lungsod sa Betel (nga kaniadto gitawag ug Luz), ug gitabangan sila sa Ginoo. Nagpadala sila ug mga espiya ngadto sa Betel, 24 ug nakakita kining mga espiya ug usa ka tawo nga migawas gikan sa maong lungsod. Miingon sila kaniya, “Tudloi kami kon unsaon pagsulod sa lungsod ug dili ka namo unsaon.” 25 Busa gitudloan niya sila, ug gipamatay nila ang tanang nagapuyo niadto nga lungsod gawas lang niadtong tawo ug ang tibuok niyang pamilya. 26 Miadto kadtong tawhana sa yuta sa mga Hitihanon ug didto nagtukod siya ug usa ka lungsod nga gitawag niyag Luz. Mao pa gihapon ang ngalan niini hangtod karon.

Ang mga Katawhan nga Wala Maabog sa mga Israelinhon

27 Wala maabog sa tribo ni Manase ang mga lumulupyo sa Bet Shan, Taanac, Dor, Ibleam, Megido, ug ang mga lungsod nga kasikbit sa palibot niini, kay determinado kini nga mga Canaanhon nga dili gayod mobiya niadtong yutaa. 28 Sa dihang nahimo nang gamhanan ang mga Israelinhon, gipugos nila ang mga Canaanhon sa pagtrabaho alang kanila, apan wala gayod nila sila maabog.

29 Wala usab maabog sa tribo ni Efraim ang mga lumulupyo sa Gezer. Busa nagpabilin sa pagpuyo ang mga Canaanhon uban kanila.

30 Wala usab maabog sa tribo ni Zebulun ang mga Canaanhon nga nagpuyo sa Kitron ug Nahalol. Busa nagpabilin sa pagpuyo ang mga Canaanhon uban kanila, apan gipugos nila sila sa pagtrabaho alang kanila.

31 Wala usab maabog sa tribo ni Asher ang mga lumulupyo sa Aco, Sidon, Alab, Aczib, Helba, Afek, ug Rehob. 32 Busa nagpabilin sa pagpuyo ang mga Canaanhon uban kanila.

33 Wala usab maabog sa tribo ni Naftali ang mga lumulupyo sa Bet-Shemes ug Bet-Anat. Busa nagpabilin sa pagpuyo ang mga Canaanhon uban kanila, apan gipugos nila sila sa pagtrabaho alang kanila.

34 Bahin sa tribo ni Dan, wala gitugot sa mga Amorihanon nga makapuyo sila didto sa kapatagan. Busa nagpabilin sila sa kabukiran. 35 Wala gayod mopahawa ang mga Amorihanon sa Bukid sa Heres, Ayalon, ug Shaalbim. Apan sa dihang nagamhanan na ang kaliwat ni Jose, gipugos nila ang mga Amorihanon nga motrabaho alang kanila. 36 Ang utlanan sa mga Amorihanon naggikan sa Tungasanan sa Akrabim ug patungas pa gikan sa Sela.

Israel Fights the Remaining Canaanites(A)

After the death(B) of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first(C) to fight against the Canaanites?(D)

The Lord answered, “Judah(E) shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.(F)

The men of Judah then said to the Simeonites their fellow Israelites, “Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours.” So the Simeonites(G) went with them.

When Judah attacked, the Lord gave the Canaanites and Perizzites(H) into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.(I) It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek(J) and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

Then Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back(K) for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem,(L) and he died there.

The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem(M) also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.

After that, Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country,(N) the Negev(O) and the western foothills. 10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron(P) (formerly called Kiriath Arba(Q)) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.(R) 11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir(S) (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).

12 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.

14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[a] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

15 She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.(T)

16 The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law,(U) the Kenite,(V) went up from the City of Palms[b](W) with the people of Judah to live among the inhabitants of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.(X)

17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites(Y) their fellow Israelites and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed[c] the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.[d](Z) 18 Judah also took[e] Gaza,(AA) Ashkelon(AB) and Ekron—each city with its territory.

19 The Lord was with(AC) the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country,(AD) but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.(AE) 20 As Moses had promised, Hebron(AF) was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.(AG) 21 The Benjamites, however, did not drive out(AH) the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem;(AI) to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.

22 Now the tribes of Joseph(AJ) attacked Bethel,(AK) and the Lord was with them. 23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),(AL) 24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.(AM) 25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared(AN) the man and his whole family. 26 He then went to the land of the Hittites,(AO) where he built a city and called it Luz,(AP) which is its name to this day.

27 But Manasseh did not(AQ) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(AR) or Ibleam(AS) or Megiddo(AT) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(AU) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(AV) 29 Nor did Ephraim(AW) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,(AX) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.(AY) 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. 31 Nor did Asher(AZ) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon(BA) or Ahlab or Akzib(BB) or Helbah or Aphek(BC) or Rehob.(BD) 32 The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh(BE) or Beth Anath(BF); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 34 The Amorites(BG) confined the Danites(BH) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.(BI) 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,(BJ) Aijalon(BK) and Shaalbim,(BL) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass(BM) to Sela(BN) and beyond.(BO)

The Continuing Conquest of Canaan

After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel (A)inquired of the Lord, (B)“Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?” The Lord said, “Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.” And Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites. (C)And I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you.” So Simeon went with him. Then Judah went up and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they defeated 10,000 of them at Bezek. They found Adoni-bezek at Bezek and fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. Adoni-bezek fled, but they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and his big toes. And Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off (D)used to pick up scraps under my table. (E)As I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

(F)And the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in (G)the hill country, in the Negeb, and in (H)the lowland. 10 (I)And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (J)(now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba), and they defeated (K)Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.

11 From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. The name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher. 12 And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife.” 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, (L)Caleb's younger brother, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 14 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

16 And the descendants of the (M)Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah (N)from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near (O)Arad, (P)and they went and settled with the people. 17 (Q)And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they defeated the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and devoted it to destruction. So the name of the city was called (R)Hormah.[a] 18 Judah also (S)captured Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. 19 (T)And the Lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the (U)hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had (V)chariots of iron. 20 (W)And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he drove out from it (X)the three sons of Anak. 21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, (Y)so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, (Z)and the Lord was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph scouted out Bethel. ((AA)Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.) 24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the way into the city, (AB)and we will deal kindly with you.” 25 And he showed them the way into 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 (AC)the land of the Hittites and built a city and called its name Luz. That is its name to this day.

Failure to Complete the Conquest

27 (AD)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 persisted in dwelling in that land. 28 When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not drive them out completely.

29 (AE)And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of (AF)Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them, but became subject to forced labor.

31 (AG)Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon or of Ahlab or of Achzib or of Helbah or of Aphik or of Rehob, 32 so the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.

33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of (AH)Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, so they lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor for them.

34 (AI)The Amorites pressed the people of Dan back into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain. 35 The Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, (AJ)in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily on them, and they became subject to forced labor. 36 And the border of the Amorites ran from (AK)the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.

The Continuing Conquest of Canaan(A)

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?”

And the Lord said, (E)“Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.”

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. 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. And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. 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.

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. (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.
