Judges 1:17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
17 The tribe of Judah went along with the tribe of Simeon, its brother tribe. Together they struck down the Canaanites who lived in Zephath. They devoted the city to destruction and named the city Hormah.[a] 18 Judah also captured Gaza with its border region, Ashkelon with its border region, and Ekron with its border region.
19 The Lord was with Judah, and Judah took possession of the hill country, but Judah could not take possession of the land belonging to the people who lived in the valleys and lowlands, because they had iron chariots.[b]
