Judges 1:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶ When the tribe of Judah left Jericho—the city of palms—the Kenites, who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, traveled with them into the wilderness of Judah. They settled among the people there, near the town of Arad in the Negev.

¹⁷ Then Judah joined with Simeon to fight against the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they completely destroyed^[a] the town. So the town was named Hormah.^{[b] 18} In addition, Judah captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, along with their surrounding territories.
