in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem
for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

And
Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill
that pertained to
Phinehas his son,
which was given him in mount Ephraim.
The Book of
Judges
CHAPTER 1
Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the L
ORD
, saying,
Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
2
And the L
ORD
said,
Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3
And 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.
4
And Judah went up; and the L
ORD
delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten
thousand men.
5
And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew
the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6
But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught
him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7
And 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.
8
Now 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.
9
And 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.
10
And 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.
11
And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name
of Debir before
was
Kirjath-sepher:
12
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh
it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger
brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14
And 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?
15
And 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.
