6. But Aḏoni-Ḇezeq fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7. And Aḏoni-Ḇezeq said, “Seventy sovereigns with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather food under my table. As I have done, so Elohim has repaid me.” And they brought him to Yerushalayim, and he died there.
8. And the children of Yehuḏah fought against Yerushalayim and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.
9. And afterward the children of Yehuḏah went down to fight against the Kena‛anites who dwelt in the mountains, in the South, and in the low country.
10. And Yehuḏah went against the Kena‛anites who dwelt in Ḥeḇron – now the name of Ḥeḇron was formerly Qiryath Arba – and they smote Shĕshai, and Aḥiman, and Talmai.
11. And from there they went against the inhabitants of Deḇir – now the name of Deḇir was formerly Qiryath Sĕpher.
12. And Kalĕḇ said, “He who smites Qiryath Sĕpher, and shall capture it, to him I shall give my daughter Aḵsah as wife.”
13. And Othni’ĕl son of Qenaz, Kalĕḇ’s younger brother, captured it. And he gave him his daughter Aḵsah as wife.
14. And it came to be, when she came in, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And when she got off from her donkey, Kalĕḇ said to her, “What is the matter?”
15. And she said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So Kalĕḇ gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16. And the children of the Qĕynite, father-in-law of Mosheh, went up from the city of palms with the children of Yehuḏah into the Wilderness of Yehuḏah, which is in the Neg̅eḇ of Araḏ. And they went and dwelt among the people.
17. And Yehuḏah went with Shim‛on his brother, and they smote the Kena‛anites who inhabited Tsephath, and put it under the ban. So the name of the city was called Ḥormah.
18. And Yehuḏah captured Azzah and its border, and Ashqelon and its border, and Eqron and its border.
