16 And the descendants of the Kenite, jMoses’ father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the kcity of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near Arad, and they went and settled with the people. 17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they defeated the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and ldevoted it to destruction. mSo the name of the city was called Hormah.1 18 Judah also captured Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. 19 And the Lord was nwith Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he ocould not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had pchariots of iron. 20 And Hebron was given to Caleb, qas Moses had said. rAnd he drove out from it the three sons of Anak. 21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites swho lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem tto this day.
