17. And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they defeated the Canaanites inhabiting Zephath; they utterly destroyed it, so he called the name of the city Hormah.
18. Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.
19. And Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.
20. They gave Hebron to Caleb just as Moses said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak from there.
21. But the descendants of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived among the descendants of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22. Likewise, the house of Joseph went up against Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.
23. And the house of Joseph spied out Bethel (the former name of the city was Luz).
24. And when the spies saw a man leaving the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance of the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
25. So he showed them the entrance of the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let go the man and all his family.
