8. The descendants of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and they captured it, put it to the sword, and set the city on fire.
9. Afterward the descendants of Judah pursued to fight against the Canaanites who were living in the hill country, the Negev, and the Shephelah.
10. And Judah went against the Canaanites living in Hebron (the former name of Hebron was Kiriath Arba). And they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11. And from there they went to the inhabitants of Debir (the former name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher).
12. And Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, I will give to him Acsah my daughter as a wife.”
13. Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, captured it, and he gave to him Acsah his daughter as a wife.
14. When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. As she dismounted from the donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
15. And she said to him, “Give me a gift; you have given me the land of the Negev, and give me also a spring of water.” And Caleb gave to her the upper and lower spring.
16. The descendants of Hobab the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up with the descendants of Judah from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev near Arad. And they went and settled with the people.
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.
