* This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Iudah by their families : euen to the border of Edom and the wildernesse of Zin , Southward on the Southcoast . * And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea , from the (note :)The Hebrew word signifies tongue , by which it means either the arm of the sea that comes into the land , or a rock , or cape that goes into the sea .(:note ) bay that looketh southward : * And it went out on the Southside towarde Maaleth-akrabbim , and went along to Zin , and ascended vp on the Southside vnto Kadesh-barnea , and went along to Hezron , and went vp to Adar , and fet a compasse to Karkaa . * From thence went it along to Azmon , and reached vnto the riuer of Egypt , and the end of that coast was on the Westside : this shall be your South coast . * And the east border [was ] the salt sea , [even ] unto the (note :)Meaning the mouth of the river where it runs into the Salt sea .(:note ) end of Jordan . And [their ] border in the north quarter [was ] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan : * And the border went up to Bethhogla , and passed along by the north of Betharabah ; and the border went up to the (note :)Which was a mark to part their countries .(:note ) stone of Bohan the son of Reuben : * Againe this border goeth vp to Debir from the valley of Achor , and Northwarde , turning toward Gilgal , that lyeth before the going vp to Adummim , which is on the Southside of the riuer : also this border goeth vp to the waters of En-shemesh , and endeth at En-rogel . * Then this border goeth vp to the valley of the sonne of Hinnom ; on the Southside of the Iebusites : the same is Ierusalem . Also this border goeth vp to the top of the mountaine that lyeth before the valley of Hinnom Westward , which is by the end of the valley of ye gyants Northward . * So this border compasseth from the top of the mountaine vnto the fountaine of the water of Nephtoah , &amp ; goeth out to the cities of mount Ephron : and this border draweth to Baalah , which is Kiriath-iearim . * Then this border compasseth from Baalah Westward vnto mount Seir , and goeth along vnto the side of mount Iearim , which is Chesalon on the Northside : so it commeth downe to Bethshemesh , and goeth to Timnah . * And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward : and the border was drawn to Shicron , and passed along to mount Baalah , and went out unto Jabneel ; and the goings out of the border were at the (note :)Meaning , toward Syria .(:note ) sea . * And the Westborder is to the great Sea : so this border shalbe the bounds of the children of Iudah round about , according to their families . * And vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh did Ioshua giue a part among the children of Iudah , as the Lord commanded him , euen Kiriath-arba of the father of Anak , which is Hebron . * And Caleb (note :)This was done after the death of Joshua , ( Jdg_1:10 , Jdg_1:20 ).(:note ) drove thence the three sons of Anak , Sheshai , and Ahiman , and Talmai , the children of Anak . * And he went vp thence to the inhabitants of Debir : and the name of Debir before time was Kiriath-sepher . * Then Caleb sayd , He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher , and taketh it , euen to him wil I giue Achsah my daughter to wife . * And Othniel , the sonne of Kenaz , the brother of Caleb tooke it : and he gaue him Achsah his daughter to wife . * And it came to pass , as she came [unto him ], that she moved him to ask of her father a field : (note :)Because her husband tarried too long .(:note ) and she lighted off [her ] ass ; and Caleb said unto her , What wouldest thou ? * Who answered , Give me a blessing ; for thou hast given me a south land ; (note :)Because her country was barren , she wanted a field that had springs from her father . ( Jdg_1:14-15 ).(:note ) give me also springs of water . And he gave her the upper springs , and the nether springs . * This shalbe the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Iudah according to their families . * And the vtmost cities of the tribe of the children of Iudah , toward the coastes of Edom Southward were Kabzeel , and Eder , and Iagur , * And Kinah , and Dimonah , and Adadah , * And Kedesh , and Hazor , and Ithnan , * Ziph , and Telem , and Bealoth , * And Hazor , Hadattah , and Kerioth , Hesron (which is Hazor ) * Amam , and Shema , and Moladah , * And Hazar , Gaddah , and Heshmon , and Beth-palet , * And Hasar-shual , and Beersheba , and Biziothiah , * Baalah , and Iim , and Azem , * And Eltolad , and Chesil , and (note :)Which before was called Zephath , ( Jdg_1:17 ).(:note ) Hormah , * And Ziklag , &amp ; Madmanna , &amp ; Sansannah , * And Lebaoth , and Shilhim , and Ain , and Rimmon : all these cities are twentie and nine with their villages . * In the lowe countrey were Eshtaol , and Zoreah , and Ashnah , * And Zanoah , and En-gannim , Tappuah , and Enam , * Iarmuth , and Adullam , Socoh , &amp ; Azekah , * And Sharaim , and Adithaim , and Gederah , and Gederothaim : fourteene cities with their villages . * Zenam , and Hadashah , and Migdal-gad , * And Dileam , and Mizpeh , and Ioktheel , * Lachish , and Bozkath , and Eglon , * And Cabbon , and Lahmam , and Kithlish , * And Gederoth , Beth-dagon , and Naamah , and Makkedah : sixteene cities with their villages . * Lebnah , and Ether , and Ashan , * And Iipthtah , and Ashnah , and Nezib , * And Keilah , and Aczib , &amp ; Mareshah : nine cities with their villages . * Ekron with her townes and her villages , * From Ekron , euen vnto the Sea , all that lyeth about Ashdod with their villages . * Ashdod with her towns and her villages , Gaza with her towns and her villages , unto the (note :)Meaning , the Nile ( Jos_13:3 ).(:note ) river of Egypt , and the great sea , and the border [thereof ]: * And in the mountaines were Shamir , and Iattir , and Socoh , * And Dannah , and (note :)Which is also called Kirjath-sepher , ( Jos_15:15 ).(:note ) Kirjathsannah , which [is ] Debir , * And Anab , and Ashtemoth , and Anim , * And Goshen , and Holon , &amp ; Giloh : eleuen cities with their villages , * Arab , and Dumah , and Eshean , * And Ianum , &amp ; Beth-tappuah , &amp ; Aphekah , * And Humtah , and Kiriath-arba , (which is Hebron ) and Zior : nine cities with their villages . * Maon , Carmel , and Ziph , and Iuttah , * And Izreel , and Iokdeam , and Zanoah , * Kain , Gibeah , and Timnah : ten cities with their villages . * Halhul , Beth-zur , and Gedor , * And Maarah , and Beth-anoth , &amp ; Eltekon : sixe cities with their villages . * Kiriath-baal , which is Kiriath-iearim , and Rabbah : two cities with their villages . * In the wildernes were Beth-arabah , Middin , and Secacah , * And Nibshan , and the (note :)Of this city the salt sea has it 's name .(:note ) city of Salt , and Engedi ; six cities with their villages . * As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem , the children of Judah could not drive them (note :)That is , utterly , though they slew the most part , and burnt their city , ( Jdg_1:8 ).(:note ) out : but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day .
