17 Then Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they defeated the Canaanites who lived in Zephath. They put the city under the ban and renamed it Hormah.
18 Judah captured Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, Ekron with its territory, and Ashdod with its territory.
19 The Lord was with Judah, so they gained possession of the mountain region. But they could not dispossess those who lived on the plain, because they had iron chariots.
20 As Moses had commanded, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who then drove the three sons of Anak away from there.
21 As for the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the Benjaminites did not dispossess them, so that the Jebusites live with the Benjaminites in Jerusalem to the present day.
22 The house of Joseph, too, went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23 The house of Joseph reconnoitered Bethel, which formerly was called Luz.
