The Victories of the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin (JDG 1:16-21)

[1:16] The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went on with the people of Judah from Jericho, the city of palm trees, into the barren country south of Arad in Judah. There they settled among the Amalekites.

[1:17] The people of Judah went with the people of Simeon, and together they defeated the Canaanites who lived in the city of Zephath. They put a curse on the city, destroyed it, and named it Hormah.

[1:20] As Moses had commanded, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out of the city the three clans descended from Anak.

[1:21] But the people of the tribe of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, and the Jebusites have continued to live there with the people of Benjamin ever since.
