* Now these are the kings of the land , which the children of Israel smote , and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun , from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon , and all the plain on the east : * Sihon king of the Amorites , who dwelt in Heshbon , and ruled from Aroer , which is upon the bank of the river Arnon , and from the middle of the river , and from half Gilead , even unto the river Jabbok , which is the border of the children of Ammon ; * And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east , and unto the sea of the plain , even the salt sea on the east , the way to Bethjeshimoth ; and from the south , under Ashdothpisgah : * And the coast of Og king of Bashan , which was of the remnant of the giants , that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei , * And reigned in mount Hermon , and in Salcah , and in all Bashan , unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites , and half Gilead , the border of Sihon king of Heshbon . * Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite : and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites , and the Gadites , and the half tribe of Manasseh . * And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west , from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak , that goeth up to Seir ; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions ; * In the mountains , and in the valleys , and in the plains , and in the springs , and in the wilderness , and in the south country ; the Hittites , the Amorites , and the Canaanites , the Perizzites , the Hivites , and the Jebusites : * The king of Jericho , one ; the king of Ai , which is beside Bethel , one ; * The king of Jerusalem , one ; the king of Hebron , one ; * The king of Jarmuth , one ; the king of Lachish , one ; * The king of Eglon , one ; the king of Gezer , one ; * The king of Debir , one ; the king of Geder , one ; * The king of Hormah , one ; the king of Arad , one ; * The king of Libnah , one ; the king of Adullam , one ; * The king of Makkedah , one ; the king of Bethel , one ; * The king of Tappuah , one ; the king of Hepher , one ; * The king of Aphek , one ; the king of Lasharon , one ; * The king of Madon , one ; the king of Hazor , one ; * The king of Shimronmeron , one ; the king of Achshaph , one ; * The king of Taanach , one ; the king of Megiddo , one ; * The king of Kedesh , one ; the king of Jokneam of Carmel , one ; * The king of Dor in the coast of Dor , one ; the king of the nations of Gilgal , one ; * The king of Tirzah , one : all the kings thirty and one . * Now Joshua was old and stricken in years ; and the LORD said unto him , Thou art old and stricken in years , and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed . * This is the land that yet remaineth : all the borders of the Philistines , and all Geshuri , * From Sihor , which is before Egypt , even unto the borders of Ekron northward , which is counted to the Canaanite : five lords of the Philistines ; the Gazathites , and the Ashdothites , the Eshkalonites , the Gittites , and the Ekronites ; also the Avites : * From the south , all the land of the Canaanites , and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians , unto Aphek , to the borders of the Amorites : * And the land of the Giblites , and all Lebanon , toward the sunrising , from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath . * All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim , and all the Sidonians , them will I drive out from before the children of Israel : only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance , as I have commanded thee . * Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes , and the half tribe of Manasseh , * With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance , which Moses gave them , beyond Jordan eastward , even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them ; * From Aroer , that is upon the bank of the river Arnon , and the city that is in the midst of the river , and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon ; * And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites , which reigned in Heshbon , unto the border of the children of Ammon ; * And Gilead , and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites , and all mount Hermon , and all Bashan unto Salcah ; * All the kingdom of Og in Bashan , which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei , who remained of the remnant of the giants : for these did Moses smite , and cast them out . * Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites , nor the Maachathites : but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day . * Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance ; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance , as he said unto them . * And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families . * And their coast was from Aroer , that is on the bank of the river Arnon , and the city that is in the midst of the river , and all the plain by Medeba ; * Heshbon , and all her cities that are in the plain ; Dibon , and Bamothbaal , and Bethbaalmeon , * And Jahazah , and Kedemoth , and Mephaath , * And Kirjathaim , and Sibmah , and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley , * And Bethpeor , and Ashdothpisgah , and Bethjeshimoth , * And all the cities of the plain , and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites , which reigned in Heshbon , whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian , Evi , and Rekem , and Zur , and Hur , and Reba , which were dukes of Sihon , dwelling in the country . * Balaam also the son of Beor , the soothsayer , did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them . * And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan , and the border thereof . This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families , the cities and the villages thereof . * And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad , even unto the children of Gad according to their families . * And their coast was Jazer , and all the cities of Gilead , and half the land of the children of Ammon , unto Aroer that is before Rabbah ; * And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh , and Betonim ; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir ; * And in the valley , Betharam , and Bethnimrah , and Succoth , and Zaphon , the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon , Jordan and his border , even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward . * This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families , the cities , and their villages . * And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh : and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families . * And their coast was from Mahanaim , all Bashan , all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan , and all the towns of Jair , which are in Bashan , threescore cities : * And half Gilead , and Ashtaroth , and Edrei , cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan , were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh , even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families . * These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab , on the other side Jordan , by Jericho , eastward . * But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance : the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance , as he said unto them . * And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan , which Eleazar the priest , and Joshua the son of Nun , and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel , distributed for inheritance to them . * By lot was their inheritance , as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses , for the nine tribes , and for the half tribe . * For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan : but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them . * For the children of Joseph were two tribes , Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land , save cities to dwell in , with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance . * As the LORD commanded Moses , so the children of Israel did , and they divided the land . * Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal : and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him , Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea . * Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land ; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart . * Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt : but I wholly followed the LORD my God . * And Moses sware on that day , saying , Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance , and thy children 's for ever , because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God . * And now , behold , the LORD hath kept me alive , as he said , these forty and five years , even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses , while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness : and now , lo , I am this day fourscore and five years old . * As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me : as my strength was then , even so is my strength now , for war , both to go out , and to come in . * Now therefore give me this mountain , whereof the LORD spake in that day ; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there , and that the cities were great and fenced : if so be the LORD will be with me , then I shall be able to drive them out , as the LORD said . * And Joshua blessed him , and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance . * Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day , because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel . * And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba ; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims . And the land had rest from war . * This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families ; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast . * And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea , from the bay that looketh southward : * And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim , and passed along to Zin , and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea , and passed along to Hezron , and went up to Adar , and fetched a compass to Karkaa : * From thence it passed toward Azmon , and went out unto the river of Egypt ; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea : this shall be your south coast . * And the east border was the salt sea , even unto the 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 stone of Bohan the son of Reuben : * And 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 : and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh , and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel : * And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite ; the same is Jerusalem : and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward , which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward : * And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto 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 Kirjathjearim : * And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir , and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim , which is Chesalon , on the north side , and went down to Bethshemesh , and passed on 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 sea . * And the west border was to the great sea , and the coast thereof . This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families . * And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah , according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua , even the city of Arba the father of Anak , which city is Hebron . * And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak , Sheshai , and Ahiman , and Talmai , the children of Anak . * And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir : and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher . * And Caleb said , He that smiteth Kirjathsepher , and taketh it , to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife . * And Othniel the son of Kenaz , the brother of Caleb , took it : and he gave 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 : 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 ; give me also springs of water . And he gave her the upper springs , and the nether springs . * This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families . * And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel , and Eder , and Jagur , * And Kinah , and Dimonah , and Adadah , * And Kedesh , and Hazor , and Ithnan , * Ziph , and Telem , and Bealoth , * And Hazor , Hadattah , and Kerioth , and Hezron , which is Hazor , * Amam , and Shema , and Moladah , * And Hazargaddah , and Heshmon , and Bethpalet , * And Hazarshual , and Beersheba , and Bizjothjah , * Baalah , and Iim , and Azem , * And Eltolad , and Chesil , and Hormah , * And Ziklag , and Madmannah , and Sansannah , * And Lebaoth , and Shilhim , and Ain , and Rimmon : all the cities are twenty and nine , with their villages : * And in the valley , Eshtaol , and Zoreah , and Ashnah , * And Zanoah , and Engannim , Tappuah , and Enam , * Jarmuth , and Adullam , Socoh , and Azekah , * And Sharaim , and Adithaim , and Gederah , and Gederothaim ; fourteen cities with their villages : * Zenan , and Hadashah , and Migdalgad , * And Dilean , and Mizpeh , and Joktheel , * Lachish , and Bozkath , and Eglon , * And Cabbon , and Lahmam , and Kithlish , * And Gederoth , Bethdagon , and Naamah , and Makkedah ; sixteen cities with their villages : * Libnah , and Ether , and Ashan , * And Jiphtah , and Ashnah , and Nezib , * And Keilah , and Achzib , and Mareshah ; nine cities with their villages : * Ekron , with her towns and her villages : * From Ekron even unto the sea , all that lay near Ashdod , with their villages : * Ashdod with her towns and her villages , Gaza with her towns and her villages , unto the river of Egypt , and the great sea , and the border thereof : * And in the mountains , Shamir , and Jattir , and Socoh , * And Dannah , and Kirjathsannah , which is Debir , * And Anab , and Eshtemoh , and Anim , * And Goshen , and Holon , and Giloh ; eleven cities with their villages : * Arab , and Dumah , and Eshean , * And Janum , and Bethtappuah , and Aphekah , * And Humtah , and Kirjatharba , which is Hebron , and Zior ; nine cities with their villages : * Maon , Carmel , and Ziph , and Juttah , * And Jezreel , and Jokdeam , and Zanoah , * Cain , Gibeah , and Timnah ; ten cities with their villages : * Halhul , Bethzur , and Gedor , * And Maarath , and Bethanoth , and Eltekon ; six cities with their villages : * Kirjathbaal , which is Kirjathjearim , and Rabbah ; two cities with their villages : * In the wilderness , Betharabah , Middin , and Secacah , * And Nibshan , and the 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 out : but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day . * And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho , unto the water of Jericho on the east , to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel ,
