Judges 1:16-18

International Standard Version

The Capture of Certain Southern Territories

¹⁶ The descendants of the Kenites, the tribe from which^[a] Moses’ father-in-law came, accompanied the descendants of Judah from the city of the palms to the Judean wilderness, which is in the desert area south of Arad, and lived with the people there. ¹⁷ The army of Judah accompanied the army of Simeon, Judah’s^[b] brother, as they attacked the Canaanites who were living in Zephath, and they completely destroyed it. Then they renamed the city Hormah. ¹⁸ The army of Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.
