Judges 1:17-19
American Standard Version
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and [a]utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah. 18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof. 19 And Jehovah was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
