Judges 1:17

Judges 1:17

15 So she said to him, ^a“Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

16 ^aNow the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up ^bfrom the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near ^cArad; ^dand they went and dwelt among the people.

17 ^aAnd Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called ^bHormah.

18 Also Judah took ^aGaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.

19 So the Lord was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had ^achariots of iron.

20 ^aAnd they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he¹ expelled from there the ^bthree sons of Anak.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Judges 1:16

Judges 1:18 >>

Judah went with Simeon - According to his promise, Judges 1:3, and the laws of justice and gratitude. Hormah - Either, The same place so called, Numbers 21:3, and so what was there vowed, is here executed: or, Some other place called by the same name upon the like occasion, which was frequent among the Hebrews. This seems more probable.
