New King James Version
The Continuing Conquest of Canaan
1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”
2 And the Lord said, “Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.”
3 So Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory.” And Simeon went with him.
4 Then Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they killed ten thousand men at Bezek.
5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Now the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.
9 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the [a]South, and in the lowland.
10 Then Judah [b]went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.)
12 Then Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife.”
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.
14 Now it happened, when she came to him, that [c]she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?”
15 So she said to him, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.”
And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 Now the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up from the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
17 And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.
19 So the Lord was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he [d]expelled from there the three sons of Anak.
21 But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 And the [e]house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23 So the [f]house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.)
24 And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy.”
25 So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Incomplete Conquest of the Land
27 However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites [g]under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.
29 Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Nor did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and [h]were put under tribute.
31 Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob.
32 So the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
33 Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
35 and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in [i]Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they [j]were put under tribute.
36 Now the boundary of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

I. ОБЗОР И ПРОСМОТР (1:1 — 3:6)
A. Оглядываясь назад (1:1 — 2:10)
1:1−3 После смерти Иисуса Навина (см. 2:8), колено Иуды возглавило войну с Хананеями на юге. Несмотря на Божье обещание победы, Иуда искал помощи у колена Симеона, этим показав, что их вера не полагалась полностью на Слово Божье.
1:4−7 Первую победу они одержали над жителями Везека. Убив десять тысяч людей, они отрезали царю большие пальцы на руках и ногах, как он это делал со своими врагами. Его нужно было предать смерти, как заповедал Господь (Втор 7:24), но вместо этого его просто изувечили. Потом его отвезли в Иерусалим, где он и умер. Это предвестило непослушание Израиля по отношению к язычникам, находящимся на израильской земле. Вместо того, чтобы их полностью истребить, Израильтяне их только калечили. Такое частичное послушание являлось непослушанием и много стоило Иудеям впоследствии.

Г. Война с Вениамином (Гл. 20−21)
1:8 В какой-то степени Иуде сопутствовал успех в захвате Иерусалима, когда они подожгли город. Но ни Иуде, ни Вениамину не удалось выдворить Иевусеев из их крепости (см. комментарий к Иисусу Навину 15:21−63). Это произошло только во время правления Давида (2Цар 5:6−7).
1:9−15 Захват Хеврона здесь приписывается Иуде; 14 и 15 главы Иисуса Навина говорят о том, что Халев захватил этот город. Здесь нет никаких расхождений, так как Халев был из колена Иуды. Эти стихи (9, 10), вероятно, ссылаются на захват города Халевом (см. ст. 20), а не на военную операцию, последовавшую после смерти Иисуса Навина, так же как захват Кириаф-Сефера Гофониилом повторно описывается в стихах 11−15, хотя он произошел до этого (Нав 15:16−19).
1:16 Кенеяне продолжали жить с детьми Иуды, несмотря на то, что они (Кенеяне), на самом деле, так и не обратились к Богу.
1:17−21 Другие завоевания Иуды включают города: Хорма, Газа, Аскалон и Екрон, но эти завоевания были не полными. У обитателей долин были железные колесницы, а у Иуды не хватило веры пойти в наступление. Они не захотели проявить стойкость в трудных обстоятельствах. Стих 21 указывает на то, что книга Судей была написана до того, как Давид захватил Иерусалим.
1:22−26 Другие победы приписываются только двум коленам Иосифа. (Вероятно, эти стихи ссылаются на захват Вефиля еще при жизни Иисуса Навина (Нав 12:16), так же, как и предыдущие стихи, касающиеся Хеврона и Кириаф-Сефера, возвращают нас к дням этого великого воеводы). Они напали на город Вефиль, ранее называвшийся Луз, и разрушили его. Но их ошибка заключалась в том, что они пообещали безопасность изменнику, работавшему на их стороне. Он сразу же начал строить еще один город под названием Луз в земле Хеттеев. Неосужденный грех выживает, и с ним придется столкнуться позже.
1:27−36 В оставшихся стихах этой главы говорится о том, как у семи центральных и северных колен не получилось выдворить Хананеев со своей территории: колен Вениамина (ст. 21), Манассии (ст. 27−28), Ефрема (ст. 29), Завулона (ст. 30), Асира (ст. 31−32), Неффалима (ст. 33) и Дана (ст. 34−36).
