Bible (YLT) 07: Judges

Description

1 And it cometh to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel ask at Jehovah, saying, `Who doth go up for us unto the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?’ 2 And Jehovah saith, `Judah doth go up; lo, I have given the land into his hand.’ 3 And Judah saith to Simeon his brother, `Go up with me into my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite — and I have gone, even I, with thee into thy lot;’ and Simeon goeth with him. 4 And Judah goeth up, and Jehovah giveth the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they smite them in Bezek — ten thousand men; 5 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and smite the Canaanite and the Perizzite. 6 And Adoni-Bezek fleeth, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes, 7 and Adoni-Bezek saith, `Seventy kings — their thumbs and their great toes cut off — have been gathering under my table; as I have done so hath God repaid to me;’ and they bring him in to Jerusalem, and he dieth there. 8 And the sons of Judah fight against Jerusalem, and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and the city they have sent into fire; 9 and afterwards have the sons of Judah gone down to fight against the Canaanite, inhabiting the hill-country, and the south, and the low country; 10 and Judah goeth unto the Canaanite who is dwelling in Hebron (and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba), and they smite Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. 11 And he goeth thence unto the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir formerly [is] Kirjath-Sepher), 12 and Caleb saith, `He who smiteth Kirjath-Sepher — and hath captured it — then I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.’ 13 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, doth capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
