Judges 1:18-25
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
18Judah also captured Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. 19And the Lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron. 20And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he drove out from it the three sons of Anak. 21But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23And the house of Joseph scouted out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.)
24And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, "Please show us the way into the city, and we will deal kindly with you."
25And he showed them the way into the city. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go.
