Judges 1:20-22

20 Caleb received[a] Hebron, just as Moses had promised. He drove out the three Anakites. 21 The men of Benjamin, however, did not conquer the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. The Jebusites live with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this very day.[b]

22 When the men[c] of Joseph attacked[d] Bethel, the Lord was with them.
