* This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families : The border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the farthest part of the south coast . * The shore of the salt sea was their south border , from the bay that looks southward : * From there it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim , and passed along to Zin , and ascended up on the south side to Kadesh-barnea , and passed along to Hezron , and went up to Adar , and went around to Karka : * From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the river of Egypt and ended at the south coast at the sea . * The east border was the salt sea to the end of Jordan . Their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan : * Their border continued to Beth-hogla , and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah . The border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben : * The border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor , and so northward , looking toward Gilgal , that is before the going up to Adummim , which is on the south side of the river . Then the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh and came out at En-rogel : * The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite ; the same is Jerusalem : and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward , which is at the end of the Valley of the Giants northward : * Then the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah , and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron ; and the border was drawn to Baalah , which is Kirjath-jearim : * The border circled Baalah westward to Mount Seir , and passed along to the side of mount Jearim , which is Chesalon , on the north side , and went down to Beth-shemesh , and passed on to Timnah : * And the border went out to the north side of Ekron : and the border was drawn to Shicron , and passed along to Mount Baalah , and went out to Jabneel to the sea . * The west border was to the coast of the great sea . This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families . * To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah , according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua , even the city of Arba the father of Anak , which city is Hebron . * From Hebron Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak , Sheshai , and Ahiman , and Talmai . * He went to the inhabitants of Debir . The name of Debir previously was Kirjath-sepher . * Caleb said : »I will give Achsah my daughter in marriage to the man who captures it and kills Kirjath-sepher .« * Othniel the son of Kenaz , the brother of Caleb , took it : and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife . * She came to him and convinced him to ask of her father for a field . She dismounted her donkey and Caleb said to her : »What do you wish ?« * She answered : »Give me a blessing . For you have given me a land in the south which includes springs of water .« He gave her the upper springs , and the lower springs . * This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families . * The cities at the limits of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom southward were Kabzeel , and Eder , and Jagur , * Kinah , and Dimonah , and Adadah , * Kedesh , and Hazor , and Ithnan , * Ziph , and Telem , and Bealoth , * Hazor , Hadattah , and Kerioth , and Hezron , which is Hazor , * Amam , and Shema , and Moladah , * Hazar-gaddah , and Heshmon , and Beth-palet , * Hazarshual , and Beer-sheba , and Bizjothjah , * Baalah , and Iim , and Azem , * Eltolad , and Chesil , and Hormah , * Ziklag , and Madmannah , and Sansannah , * Lebaoth , and Shilhim , and Ain , and Rimmon : all the cities are twenty - nine , with their villages : * In the valley , Eshtaol , and Zoreah , and Ashnah , * Zanoah , and En-gannim , Tappuah , and Enam , * Jarmuth , and Adullam , Socoh , and Azekah , * Sharaim , and Adithaim , and Gederah , and Gederothaim ; fourteen cities with their villages : * Zenan , and Hadashah , and Migdal-gad , * Dilean , and Mizpeh , and Joktheel , * Lachish , and Bozkath , and Eglon , * Cabbon , and Lahmam , and Kithlish , * Gederoth , Beth-dagon , and Naamah , and Makkedah ; sixteen cities with their villages : * Libnah , and Ether , and Ashan , * Jiphtah , and Ashnah , and Nezib , * Keilah , and Achzib , and Mareshah ; nine cities with their villages : * Ekron , with her towns and her villages : * From Ekron even to the sea , all that lay near Ashdod , with their villages : * Ashdod with her towns and her villages , Gaza with her towns and her villages , to the river of Egypt , and the great sea , and the border there . * In the mountains , Shamir , and Jattir , and Socoh , * Dannah , and Kirjath-sannah , which is Debir , * Anab , and Eshtemoh , and Anim , * Goshen , and Holon , and Giloh ; eleven cities with their villages : * Arab , and Dumah , and Eshean , * Janum , and Beth-tappuah , and Aphekah , * Humtah , and Kirjath-arba , which is Hebron , and Zior ; nine cities with their villages : * Maon , Carmel , and Ziph , and Juttah , * Jezreel , and Jokdeam , and Zanoah , * Cain , Gibeah , and Timnah ; ten cities with their villages : * Halhul , Beth-zur , and Gedor , * Maarath , and Beth-anoth , and Eltekon ; six cities with their villages : * Kirjath-baal , which is Kirjath-jearim , and Rabbah ; two cities with their villages : * In the wilderness , Beth-arabah , Middin , and Secacah , * Nibshan , and the city of Salt , and En-gedi ; six cities with their villages . * As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem , the children of Judah could not drive them out . The Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day .
