1After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?"
“Now, 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?”

“And Judah said unto Simon 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,”
4When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
“Then Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they killed ten thousand men at Bezek.”
“and Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they slew of them in Bezik ten thousand men,”
5And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
“and they found Adonai Bezik in Bezik, and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.”
6As Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
“But Adonai Bezik fled, and they pursued after him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.”
7Then Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have gathered the scraps under my table. As I have done to them, so God has repaid me." And they brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.

15"Give me a blessing," she answered. "Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well." So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
