Judges 1:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ Those who were sent saw a man coming out of the city. They said to him, “Show us how to get into the city. If you do, we’ll see that you are treated well.” ²⁵ So he showed them how to get in. The men of Joseph killed the people in the city with their swords. But they spared the man from Bethel. They also spared his whole family. ²⁶ Then he went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city there. He called it Luz. That’s still its name to this day.
