1. Now after the mot Yehoshua it came to pass, that the Bnei Yisroel asked Hashem, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Kena'ani first, to fight against him [them]?
2. And Hashem said, Yehudah shall go up; hinei, I have delivered HaAretz into his yad.
3. And Yehudah said unto Shim'on his brother, Come up with me into my goral (lot), and we will fight against the Kena'ani; and I likewise will go with thee into thy goral. So Shim'on went with him.
4. And Yehudah went up; and Hashem delivered the Kena'ani and the Perizzi into their yad; and they struck them down at Bezek ten thousand ish.
5. And they found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck down the Kena'ani and the Perizzi.
6. But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7. And Adoni-Bezek said, Threescore and ten melachim, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, picked up their scraps under my shulchan; as I have done, so Elohim hath requited me. And they brought him to Yerushalayim, and there he died.
8. Now the Bnei Yehudah had fought against Yerushalayim, and had taken it, and put it to the edge of the cherev, and set eish to the Ir.
9. And afterward the Bnei Yehudah went down to fight against the Kena'ani that dwelt in the har, and in the Negev, and in the western foothills.
10. And Yehudah went against the Kena'ani that dwelt in Chevron; (now the shem of Chevron formerly was Kiryat-Arba); and they struck down Sheshai, and Achiman, and Talmai.
