1The allotted portion fell to the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families, toward the border of Edom, in the wilderness of Zin, southward from the southern end.2Their southern border ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the tongue that turns southward.3It extended southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, passed through Zin, ascended from the south to Kadesh-barnea, passed through Hezron, ascended to Addar, and turned to Karka.4It passed through Azmon and extended to the torrent of Egypt; the outgoings of the border reached the sea. This shall be your southern border.5The eastern border was the Salt Sea as far as the end of the Jordan, and the northern border ran from the tongue of the sea at the end of the Jordan.6The border ascended to Beth-hoglah, passed north of Beth-arabah, and ascended to the stone of Bohan son of Reuben.7The border ascended to Debir from the valley of Achor and turned northward toward the Gilgal that lies before the ascent of Adummim, which is south of the torrent; the border passed to the waters of En-shemesh, and its outgoings were at En-rogel.8The border ascended by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the shoulder of the Jebusite from the south—it is Jerusalem—and the border ascended to the head of the mountain that is upon the face of the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward.9The border bordered from the head of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; the border bordered to Baalah—it is Kiriath-jearim.10The border turned from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, passed to the shoulder of Mount Jearim from the north—it is Chesalon—descended to Beth-shemesh, and passed Timnah.11The border went out to the shoulder of Ekron northward; the border bordered to Shikkeron, passed Mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel, and the outgoings of the border reached the sea.12The western border was the great sea and its border; this is the border of the sons of Judah round about according to their families.13Caleb son of Jephunneh received a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah according to the word of the LORD to Joshua: Kiriath-arba, father of Anak—it is Hebron.14Caleb dispossessed from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, who were born of Anak.15He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; the former name of Debir was Kiriath-sannah.16Caleb said, "Whoever strikes Kiriath-sannah and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife."17Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it, and Caleb gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.18When she arrived she urged him to ask her father for a field; she got down from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"19She said, "Give me a blessing, for you have given me the land of the Negeb; give me bowls of water." So he gave her the upper bowls and the lower bowls.20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.21The cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the Negeb were Kabzeel, Eder, and Jagur.22Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah.23Kedesh, Hazor, and Ithnan.24Ziph, Telem, and Bealoth.25Hazor-hadattah, Kerioth, and Hezron—it is Hazor.26Amam, Shema, and Moladah.27Hazar-gaddah, Heshmon, and Beth-pelet.28Hazar-shual, Beersheba, and Biziothiah.29Baalah, Iyim, and Ezem.30Eltolad, Chesil, and Hormah.31Ziklag, Madmannah, and Sansannah.32Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon—twenty-nine cities in all, together with their villages.33In the Shephelah: Eshtaol, Zorah, and Ashnah.34Zanoah, En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enaim.35Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah.36Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, and Gederothaim—fourteen cities with their villages.37Zenan, Hadashah, and Migdal-gad.38Dilean, Mizpeh, and Joktheel.39Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon.40Cabbon, Lahmam, and Chitlish.41Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah—sixteen cities with their villages.42Libnah, Ether, and Ashan.43Iphtah, Ashnah, and Nezib.44Keilah, Achzib, and Mareshah—nine cities with their villages.45Ekron with its daughters and its villages.46From Ekron westward, all that lies along the side of Ashdod and its villages.47Ashdod with its daughters and its villages; Gaza with its daughters and its villages, as far as the torrent of Egypt, the great sea, and the border.48In the hill country: Shamir, Jattir, and Socoh.49Dannah and Kiriath-sannah—it is Debir.50Anab, Eshtemoa, and Anim.51Goshen, Holon, and Giloh—eleven cities with their villages.52Arab, Dumah, and Eshan.53Janim, Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah.54Humtah and Kiriath-arba—it is Hebron—and Zior—nine cities with their villages.55Maon, Carmel, Ziph, and Juttah.56Jezreel, Jokdeam, and Zanoah.57Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah—ten cities with their villages.58Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor.59Maarath, Beth-anoth, and Eltekon—six cities with their villages.60Kiriath-baal—it is Kiriath-jearim—and Rabbah—two cities with their villages.61In the wilderness: Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah.62Nibshan, the City of Salt, and Engedi—six cities with their villages.63The sons of Judah could not dispossess the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the Jebusite has lived with the sons of Judah in Jerusalem to this day.
