Judges 1:22
Verse 22 of 36. The 1st of 21 chapters in Judges, in History.
18Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
19The LORD was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
21The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
23The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
24The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
25He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
26The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
