New King James Version

Judges 1:19-24 New King James Version (NKJV)

19. So the Lord was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.

20. And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he expelled from there the three sons of Anak.

21. But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22. And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.

23. So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.)

24. And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy.”
