Judges 1:2-4
International Standard Version
2 The Lord replied, “The tribe of[a] Judah is to lead you.[b] Look! I’ve given the land into their control.”
3 But the tribe of Judah told the tribe of Simeon, the descendants of Judah’s[c] brother, “Come with us[d] into our territory, and we’ll both fight the Canaanites. In return, we’ll[e] go with you when you fight in your territory.” So the army of[f] the tribe of Simeon accompanied the army of the tribe of Judah.
4 When the army of the tribe of Judah went into battle, the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their control, and they defeated 10,000 men at Bezek.
