(Now the|strong="H6440" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H3427" Debir|strong="H1688" in|strong="H3427" earlier times|strong="H6440" was|strong="H8034" Kiriath-sepher|strong="H7158".)

\verseNumber{14}Now|strong="H1961" when|strong="H1961" she|strong="H4100" came|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0559" him|strong="H5921", he|strong="H0853" put|strong="H0935" into|strong="H0935" her|strong="H5921" mind the|strong="H0853" idea of|strong="H0001" requesting a|strong="H1961" field|strong="H7704" from|strong="H0935" her|strong="H5921" father|strong="H0001": and|strong="H0935" she|strong="H4100" got down|strong="H5921" from|strong="H0935" her|strong="H5921" ass; and|strong="H0935" Caleb|strong="H3612" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" her|strong="H5921", What|strong="H4100" is|strong="H4100" it|strong="H5921"?

So|strong="H5414" Caleb|strong="H3612" gave|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414" the|strong="H0853" higher spring|strong="H4325" and|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" lower|strong="H8482" spring|strong="H4325". 
\verseNumber{16}Now Hobab the|strong="H0834" Kenite|strong="H7017", Moses' father-in-law|strong="H2859", had|strong="H0834" come|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" out|strong="H3427" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0834" town|strong="H5892" of|strong="H1121" palm-trees, with|strong="H0854" the|strong="H0834" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063", into|strong="H5927" the|strong="H0834" waste land of|strong="H1121" Arad|strong="H6166"; and|strong="H1121" he|strong="H0834" went|strong="H5927" and|strong="H1121" was|strong="H0834" living|strong="H3427" among|strong="H0854" the|strong="H0834" Amalekites; 
\verseNumber{17}And|strong="H3063" Judah|strong="H3063" went with|strong="H0854" Simeon|strong="H8095", his|strong="H7121" brother|strong="H0251", and|strong="H3063" overcame the|strong="H0853" Canaanites|strong="H3669" living|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" Zephath|strong="H6857", and|strong="H3063" put it|strong="H7121" under|strong="H3427" the|strong="H0853" curse; and|strong="H3063" he|strong="H0853" gave|strong="H7121" the|strong="H0853" town|strong="H5892" the|strong="H0853" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H3427" Hormah|strong="H2767".

\verseNumber{19}And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" Lord|strong="H3068" was|strong="H1961" with|strong="H0854" Judah|strong="H3063"; and|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3588" took|strong="H3423" the|strong="H0853" hill-country for|strong="H3588" his|strong="H3068" heritage; but|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" was|strong="H1961" unable to|strong="H1961" make|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3427" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" valley|strong="H6010" go|strong="H1961" out|strong="H3423", for|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3068" war-carriages of|strong="H3068" iron|strong="H1270".

\verseNumber{21}And|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Judah did|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" make the|strong="H0853" Jebusites|strong="H2983" who|strong="H1121" were|strong="H1121" living|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" go out|strong="H3423"; the|strong="H0853" Jebusites|strong="H2983" are|strong="H3117" still|strong="H5704" living|strong="H3427" with|strong="H0854" the|strong="H0853" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Benjamin|strong="H1144" in|strong="H3427" Jerusalem|strong="H3389". 
\verseNumber{22}And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" family|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Joseph|strong="H3130" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" against|strong="H5973" Beth-el, and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" Lord|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" with|strong="H5973" them|strong="H1992". 
\verseNumber{23}So|strong="H6440" they|strong="H6440" sent men to|strong="H6440" make|strong="H8034" a|strong="H6440" search round Beth-el. (Now the|strong="H6440" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H6440" town|strong="H5892" in|strong="H1004" earlier times|strong="H6440" was|strong="H8034" Luz|strong="H3870".) 
\verseNumber{24}And|strong="H0376" the|strong="H0853" watchers saw|strong="H7200" a|strong="H7200" man|strong="H0376" coming|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H0376" the|strong="H0853" town|strong="H5892", and|strong="H0376" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" him|strong="H0853", If|strong="H0376" you|strong="H5973" will|strong="H0376" make|strong="H6213" clear|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0559" us|strong="H4994" the|strong="H0853" way into|strong="H0376" the|strong="H0853" town|strong="H5892", we|strong="H4994" will|strong="H0376" be|strong="H0376" kind to|strong="H0559" you|strong="H5973".

\verseNumber{27}And|strong="H0776" Manasseh|strong="H4519" did|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" take|strong="H3423" away the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3427" of|strong="H0776" Beth-shean|strong="H1052" and|strong="H0776" its|strong="H0853" daughter-towns, or|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0776" Taanach|strong="H8590" and|strong="H0776" its|strong="H0853" daughter-towns, or|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3427" of|strong="H0776" Dor|strong="H1756" and|strong="H0776" its|strong="H0853" daughter-towns, or|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3427" of|strong="H0776" Ibleam|strong="H2991" and|strong="H0776" its|strong="H0853" daughter-towns, or|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3427" of|strong="H0776" Megiddo|strong="H4023" and|strong="H0776" its|strong="H0853" daughter-towns, driving|strong="H3423" them|strong="H0853" out|strong="H3423"; but|strong="H3808" the|strong="H0853" Canaanites|strong="H3669" would go on|strong="H0776" living|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" that|strong="H3808" land|strong="H0776". 
\verseNumber{28}And|strong="H3478" whenever|strong="H1961" Israel|strong="H3478" became|strong="H1961" strong|strong="H2388", they|strong="H3588" put|strong="H7760" the|strong="H0853" Canaanites|strong="H3669" to|strong="H1961" forced|strong="H4522" work|strong="H7760", without|strong="H3808" driving|strong="H3423" them|strong="H0853" out|strong="H2388" completely|strong="H3423".
