Book 07        Judges

07:001:001 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the
           children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for
           us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?

07:001:002 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered
           the land into his hand.

07:001:003 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into
           my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I
           likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with
           him.

07:001:004 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and
           the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek
           ten thousand men.

07:001:005 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against
           him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

07:001:006 But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught
           him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

07:001:007 And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their
           thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under
           my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they
           brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

07:001:008 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and
           had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and
           set the city on fire.

07:001:009 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against
           the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south,
           and in the valley.

07:001:010 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron:
           (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew
           Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

07:001:011 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and
           the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:

07:001:012 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it,
           to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

07:001:013 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took
           it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

07:001:014 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him
           to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her
           ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?

07:001:015 And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given
           me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave
           her the upper springs and the nether springs.

07:001:016 And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up
           out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into
           the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and
           they went and dwelt among the people.

07:001:017 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the
           Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it.
           And the name of the city was called Hormah.

07:001:018 Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with
           the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

07:001:019 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants
           of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of
           the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

07:001:020 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he
           expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

07:001:021 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites
           that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the
           children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.

07:001:022 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and
           the LORD was with them.

07:001:023 And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name
           of the city before was Luz.)

07:001:024 And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they
           said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the
           city, and we will shew thee mercy.

07:001:025 And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote
           the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man
           and all his family.

07:001:026 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a
           city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name
           thereof unto this day.

07:001:027 Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean
           and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants
           of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her
           towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the
           Canaanites would dwell in that land.

07:001:028 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the
           Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.

07:001:029 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in
           Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

07:001:030 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor
           the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among
           them, and became tributaries.

07:001:031 Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the
           inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of
           Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:

07:001:032 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants
           of the land: for they did not drive them out.

07:001:033 Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh,
           nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the
           Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the
           inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries
           unto them.

07:001:034 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain:
           for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

07:001:035 But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in
           Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so
           that they became tributaries.

07:001:036 And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to
           Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. 

07:002:001 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and
           said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you
           unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I
           will never break my covenant with you.

07:002:002 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land;
           ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my
           voice: why have ye done this?

07:002:003 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before
           you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods
           shall be a snare unto you.

07:002:004 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these
           words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted
           up their voice, and wept.

07:002:005 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they
           sacrificed there unto the LORD.

07:002:006 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel
           went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

07:002:007 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all
           the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all
           the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

07:002:008 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died,
           being an hundred and ten years old.

07:002:009 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in
           Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of
           the hill Gaash.

07:002:010 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers:
           and there arose another generation after them, which knew not
           the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

07:002:011 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD,
           and served Baalim:

07:002:012 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought
           them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the
           gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed
           themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

07:002:013 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

07:002:014 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he
           delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them,
           and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about,
           so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

07:002:015 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against
           them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn
           unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

07:002:016 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them
           out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

07:002:017 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they
           went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto
           them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers
           walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did
           not so.

07:002:018 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was
           with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their
           enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD
           because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed
           them and vexed them.

07:002:019 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they
           returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in
           following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them;
           they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn
           way.

07:002:020 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said,
           Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I
           commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

07:002:021 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of
           the nations which Joshua left when he died:

07:002:022 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep
           the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep
           it, or not.

07:002:023 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them
           out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of
           Joshua.
