After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
2 여호와께서 가라사대 유다가 올라갈지니라 보라! 내가 이 땅을 그 손에 붙였노라 하시니라
Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
3 유다가 그 형제 시므온에게 이르되 `나의 제비 뽑아 얻은 땅에 나와 함께 올라가서 가나안 사람과 싸우자 그리하면 나도 너의 제비 뽑아 얻은 땅에 함께 가리라' 이에 시므온이 그와 함께 가니라
The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
4 유다가 올라가매 여호와께서 가나안 사람과 브리스 사람을 그들의 손에 붙이신지라 그들이 베섹에서 일만명을 죽이고

5 또 베섹에서 아도니 베섹을 만나서 그와 싸워 가나안 사람과 브리스 사람을 죽이니
During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
6 아도니 베섹이 도망하는지라 그를 쫓아가서 잡아 그 수족의 엄지 가락을 끊으매
but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7 아도니 베섹이 가로되 `옛적에 칠십 왕이 그 수족의 엄지가락을 찍히고 내 상 아래서 먹을 것을 줍더니 하나님이 나의 행한 대로 내게 갚으심이로다' 하니라 무리가 그를 끌고 예루살렘에 이르렀더니 그가 거기서 죽었더라
Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.

When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
15 가로되 `내게 복을 주소서! 아버지께서 나를 남방으로 보내시니 샘물도 내게 주소서' 하매 갈렙이 윗샘과 아랫샘을 그에게 주었더라
She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.
