And YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”

and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike the Canaanite and the Perizzite.

And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,

And he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
12 Kaalebis, “Ani nama Kiriyaati Seefer lolee qabatutti intala koo Aaksaa nan heerumsiisa” jedhe.
and Caleb says, “He who strikes Kirjath-Sepher and has captured it—then I have given my daughter Achsah to him for a wife.”
