3Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.
4And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.
5And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.
7And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.
8Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.
9After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.
10And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba:) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.
11And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)
12And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.
