1Après la mort de Josué, les enfants d'Israël consultèrent le SEIGNEUR, en disant : « Qui de nous montera le premier contre les Cananéens, pour les combattre ? »

2Le SEIGNEUR dit : « Juda montera. Voici, j'ai livré le pays entre ses mains. »

3Juda dit à Siméon son frère : « Monte avec moi dans le territoire qui m'est échu, afin que nous combattions les Cananéens ; et j'irai de même avec toi dans ton territoire. » Ainsi Siméon s'en alla avec lui.

4Juda monta, et le SEIGNEUR livra les Cananéens et les Phéréziens entre leurs mains. Ils battirent dix mille hommes à Bézek.

5Ils trouvèrent Adoni-Bézek à Bézek, et ils le combattirent. Ils battirent les Cananéens et les Phéréziens.

6Mais Adoni-Bézek s'enfuit. Ils le poursuivirent, s'emparèrent de lui, et lui coupèrent les pouces des mains et des pieds.

7Adoni-Bézek dit : « Soixante-dix rois, ayant les pouces des mains et des pieds coupés, ramassaient les miettes sous ma table. Comme j'ai fait, ainsi Dieu m'a rendu. » On l'amena à Jérusalem, et il y mourut.

8Les enfants de Juda attaquèrent Jérusalem, la prirent, la frappèrent du tranchant de l'épée, et mirent le feu à la ville.

9Après cela, les enfants de Juda descendirent pour combattre les Cananéens qui habitaient la région montagneuse, le Sud, et la plaine.

10Juda marcha contre les Cananéens qui habitaient à Hébron. (Le nom d'Hébron était autrefois Kirjath-Arba.) Ils battirent Schéshaï, Ahiman, et Talmaï.

11De là il marcha contre les habitants de Debir. (Le nom de Debir était autrefois Kirjath-Sépher.)

12Caleb dit : « Je donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme à l'homme qui battra Kirjath-Sépher et qui s'en emparera. »

13Othniel, fils de Kenaz, le frère cadet de Caleb, s'en empara, et il lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.

14Lorsqu'elle arriva, elle l'incita à demander un champ à son père. Elle descendit de son âne ; et Caleb lui dit : « Que désires-tu ? »

15Elle lui dit : « Fais-moi un don ; puisque tu m'as établie dans une terre du Sud, donne-moi aussi des sources d'eau. » Alors Caleb lui donna les sources supérieures et les sources inférieures.

16Les enfants du Kénien, beau-frère de Moïse, montèrent de la ville des palmiers avec les enfants de Juda dans le désert de Juda, qui est au sud d'Arad ; et ils allèrent habiter avec le peuple.

17Juda se mit en marche avec Siméon son frère, et ils battirent les Cananéens qui habitaient Tsephath, et la vouèrent à la destruction. Le nom de la ville fut appelé Horma.

18Juda s'empara aussi de Gaza et de son territoire, d'Askalon et de son territoire, et d'Ékron et de son territoire.

19Le SEIGNEUR fut avec Juda, et il chassa les habitants de la région montagneuse ; mais il ne chassa pas les habitants de la vallée, parce qu'ils avaient des chars de fer.

20On donna Hébron à Caleb, comme Moïse l'avait dit, et il en chassa les trois fils d'Anak.

21Les enfants de Benjamin ne chassèrent pas les Jébusiens qui habitaient à Jérusalem, mais les Jébusiens habitent avec les enfants de Benjamin à Jérusalem jusqu'à ce jour.

22La maison de Joseph monta aussi contre Béthel, et le SEIGNEUR fut avec eux.

23La maison de Joseph fit espionner Béthel. (Le nom de la ville était autrefois Luz.)

24Les gardes virent un homme sortir de la ville, et ils lui dirent : « Montre-nous, s'il te plaît, l'entrée de la ville, et nous te traiterons avec bonté. »

25Il leur montra l'entrée de la ville, et ils frappèrent la ville du tranchant de l'épée ; mais ils laissèrent aller cet homme et toute sa famille.

26Cet homme se rendit dans le pays des Hittites, bâtit une ville, et l'appela Luz, nom qu'elle a conservé jusqu'à ce jour.

27Manassé ne chassa pas les habitants de Beth-Schean et de ses villes, ni de Taanac et de ses villes, ni les habitants de Dor et de ses villes, ni les habitants de Jibleam et de ses villes, ni les habitants de Megiddo et de ses villes ; mais les Cananéens persistèrent à habiter dans ce pays.

28Quand Israël fut devenu fort, il soumit les Cananéens à la corvée, mais il ne les chassa pas entièrement.

29Éphraïm ne chassa pas les Cananéens qui habitaient à Guézer, mais les Cananéens habitèrent à Guézer au milieu d'eux.

30Zabulon ne chassa pas les habitants de Kitron, ni les habitants de Nahalol ; mais les Cananéens habitèrent au milieu d'eux, et furent soumis à la corvée.

31Aser ne chassa pas les habitants d'Acco, ni les habitants de Sidon, ni d'Achlab, ni d'Aczib, ni de Helba, ni d'Aphik, ni de Rehob ;

32mais les Asérites habitèrent au milieu des Cananéens, les habitants du pays, car ils ne les chassèrent pas.

33Nephthali ne chassa pas les habitants de Beth-Schémesh, ni les habitants de Beth-Anath ; mais il habita au milieu des Cananéens, les habitants du pays. Néanmoins les habitants de Beth-Schémesh et de Beth-Anath furent soumis à la corvée.

34Les Amoréens repoussèrent les enfants de Dan dans la région montagneuse, car ils ne leur permirent pas de descendre dans la vallée ;

35et les Amoréens persistèrent à habiter sur le mont Harès, à Ajalon, et à Shaalbim. Cependant la main de la maison de Joseph s'appesantit sur eux, de sorte qu'ils furent soumis à la corvée.

36La frontière des Amoréens s'étendait depuis la montée d'Akrabbim, depuis le rocher, et au-dessus.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y ACONTECIÓ después de la muerte de Josué, que los hijos de Israel consultaron á Jehová, diciendo: ¿Quién subirá por nosotros el primero á pelear contra los Cananeos?

2Y Jehová respondió: Judá subirá; he aquí que yo he entregado la tierra en sus manos.

3Y Judá dijo á Simeón su hermano: Sube conmigo á mi suerte, y peleemos contra el Cananeo, y yo también iré contigo á tu suerte. Y Simeón fué con él.

4Y subió Judá, y Jehová entregó en sus manos al Cananeo y al Pherezeo; y de ellos hirieron en Bezec diez mil hombres.

5Y hallaron á Adoni-bezec en Bezec, y pelearon contra él: é hirieron al Cananeo y al Pherezeo.

6Mas Adoni-bezec huyó; y siguiéronle, y prendiéronle, y cortáronle los pulgares de las manos y de los pies.

7Entonces dijo Adoni-bezec: Setenta reyes, cortados los pulgares de sus manos y de sus pies, cogían las migajas debajo de mi mesa: como yo hice, así me ha pagado Dios. Y metiéronle en Jerusalem, donde murió.

8Y habían combatido los hijos de Judá á Jerusalem, y la habían tomado, y metido á cuchillo, y puesto á fuego la ciudad.

9Después los hijos de Judá descendieron para pelear contra el Cananeo que habitaba en las montañas, y al mediodía, y en los llanos.

10Y partió Judá contra el Cananeo que habitaba en Hebrón, la cual se llamaba antes Chîriath-arba; é hirieron á Sesai, y á Ahiman, y á Talmai.

11Y de allí fué á los que habitaban en Debir, que antes se llamaba Chîriath-sepher.

12Y dijo Caleb: El que hiriere á Chîriath-sepher, y la tomare, yo le daré á Axa mi hija por mujer.

13Y tomóla Othoniel hijo de Cenez, hermano menor de Caleb: y él le dió á Axa su hija por mujer.

14Y cuando la llevaban, persuadióle que pidiese á su padre un campo. Y ella se apeó del asno, y Caleb le dijo: ¿Qué tienes?

15Ella entonces le respondió: Dame una bendición: que pues me has dado tierra de secadal, me des también fuentes de aguas. Entonces Caleb le dió las fuentes de arriba y las fuentes de abajo.

16Y los hijos de Cineo, suegro de Moisés, subieron de la ciudad de las palmas con los hijos de Judá al desierto de Judá, que está al mediodía de Arad: y fueron y habitaron con el pueblo.

17Y fué Judá á su hermano Simeón, é hirieron al Cananeo que habitaba en Sephath, y asoláronla: y pusieron por nombre á la ciudad, Horma.

18Tomó también Judá á Gaza con su término, y á Ascalón con su término, y á Ecrón con su término.

19Y fué Jehová con Judá, y echó á los de las montañas; mas no pudo echar á los que habitaban en los llanos, los cuales tenían carros herrados.

20Y dieron Hebrón á Caleb, como Moisés había dicho: y él echó de allí tres hijos de Anac.

21Mas al Jebuseo que habitaba en Jerusalem, no echaron los hijos de Benjamín, y así el Jebuseo habitó con los hijos de Benjamín en Jerusalem hasta hoy.

22También los de la casa de José subieron á Beth-el; y fué Jehová con ellos.

23Y los de la casa de José pusieron espías en Beth-el, la cual ciudad antes se llamaba Luz.

24Y los que espiaban vieron un hombre que salía de la ciudad, y dijéronle: Muéstranos ahora la entrada de la ciudad, y haremos contigo misericordia.

25Y él les mostró la entrada á la ciudad, é hiriéronla á filo de espada; mas dejaron á aquel hombre con toda su familia.

26Y fuese el hombre á la tierra de los Hetheos, y edificó una ciudad, á la cual llamó Luz: y este es su nombre hasta hoy.

27Tampoco Manasés echó á los de Beth-sean, ni á los de sus aldeas, ni á los de Taanach y sus aldeas, ni á los de Dor y sus aldeas, ni á los habitantes de Ibleam y sus aldeas, ni á los que habitaban en Megiddo y en sus aldeas: mas el Cananeo quiso habitar en esta tierra.

28Empero cuando Israel tomó fuerzas hizo al Cananeo tributario, mas no lo echó.

29Tampoco Ephraim echó al Cananeo que habitaba en Gezer; antes habitó el Cananeo en medio de ellos en Gezer.

30Tampoco Zabulón echó á los que habitaban en Chîtron y á los que habitaban en Naalol; mas el Cananeo habitó en medio de él, y le fueron tributarios.

31Tampoco Aser echó á los que habitaban en Achô, y á los que habitaban en Sidón, y en Ahlab, y en Achzib, y en Helba, y en Aphec, y en Rehod:

32Antes moró Aser entre los Cananeos que habitaban en la tierra; pues no los echó.

33Tampoco Nephtalí echó á los que habitaban en Beth-semes, y á los que habitaban en Beth-anath, sino que moró entre los Cananeos que habitaban en la tierra; mas fuéronle tributarios los moradores de Beth-semes, y los moradores de Beth-anath.

34Los Amorrheos apretaron á los hijos de Dan hasta el monte; que no los dejaron descender á la campiña.

35Y quiso el Amorrheo habitar en el monte de Heres, en Ajalón y en Saalbín; mas como la mano de la casa de José tomó fuerzas, hiciéronlos tributarios.

36Y el término del Amorrheo fué desde la subida de Acrabim, desde la piedra, y arriba.

King James Version

1Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?

2And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

3And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.

4And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

5And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

8Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

9And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.

10And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

11And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:

12And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

13And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

14And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?

15And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.

16And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

17And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

18Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

19And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

20And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

21And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.

22And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.

23And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)

24And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.

25And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.

26And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.

27Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

28And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.

29Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

31Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:

32But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.

33Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them.

34And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

35But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.

36And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

1After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”

2The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”

3Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.

4Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.

5They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.

7Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

9After that, the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.

10Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)

12Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”

13Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.

14When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”

15She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

16The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.

17Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.

18Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.

19The LORD was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

20They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.

21The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

23The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)

24The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”

25He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.

26The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

27Manasseh didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

28When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.

29Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

30Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.

31Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;

32but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.

33Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.

34The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

35but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim. Yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.

36The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
