Judges 1:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ Afterwards the army of Judah joined Simeon’s, and they fought the Canaanites at the city of Zephath and massacred all its people. So now the city is named Hormah (meaning, “massacred”). ¹⁸ The army of Judah also conquered the cities of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, with their surrounding villages. ¹⁹ The Lord helped the tribe of Judah exterminate the people of the hill country, though they failed in their attempt to conquer the people of the valley, who had iron chariots.
