Judges 1:1

1 Now it came about after the death of Joshua that the sons of Israel inquired of the LORD , saying, "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"

Judges 1:8

8 Then the sons of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.

Judges 1:9

9 Afterward the sons of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country and in the Negev and in the lowland.

Judges 1:13

13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, captured it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for a wife.

Judges 1:16

16 The descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up from the city of palms with the sons of Judah, to the wilderness of Judah which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.

Judges 1:20

20 Then they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had promised; and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.

Judges 1:21

21 But the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

Judges 1:34

34 Then the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the valley;

Judges 2:4

4 When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

Judges 2:6

6 When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.

Judges 2:8

8 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD , died at the age of one hundred and ten.

Judges 2:11

11 Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals,

Judges 3:2

2 only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught war, those who had not experienced it formerly ).

Judges 3:5

5 The sons of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites;

Judges 3:6

6 and they took their daughters for themselves as wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

Judges 3:7

7 The sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD , and forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asheroth.

Judges 3:8

8 Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, so that He sold them into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the sons of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

Judges 3:9

9 When the sons of Israel cried to the LORD , the LORD raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel to deliver them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

Judges 3:11

11 Then the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Judges 3:12

12 Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD . So the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD .

Judges 3:13

13 And he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and defeated Israel, and they possessed the city of the palm trees.

Judges 3:14

14 The sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

Judges 3:15

15 But when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD , the LORD raised up a deliverer for them, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

Judges 3:27

27 It came about when he had arrived, that he blew the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was in front of them.

Judges 3:31

31 After him came Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad; and he also saved Israel.

Judges 4:1

1 Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD , after Ehud died.

Judges 4:3

3 The sons of Israel cried to the LORD ; for he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the sons of Israel severely for twenty years.

Judges 4:5

5 She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.

Judges 4:6

6 Now she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali , and said to him, "Behold, the LORD , the God of Israel, has commanded, 'Go and march to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.

Judges 4:11

11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.

Judges 4:12

12 Then they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

Judges 4:23

23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.

Judges 4:24

24 The hand of the sons of Israel pressed heavier and heavier upon Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin the king of Canaan.

Judges 5:1

1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,

Judges 5:6

6 "In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, And travelers went by roundabout ways.

Judges 5:12

12 "Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and take away your captives, O son of Abinoam.

Judges 6:1

1 Then the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ; and the LORD gave them into the hands of Midian seven years.

Judges 6:2

2 The power of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

Judges 6:3

3 For it was when Israel had sown, that the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the sons of the east and go against them.

Judges 6:6

6 So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel cried to the LORD .

Judges 6:7

7 Now it came about when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD on account of Midian,

Judges 6:8

8 that the LORD sent a prophet to the sons of Israel, and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD , the God of Israel, 'It was I who brought you up from Egypt and brought you out from the house of slavery.

Judges 6:11

11 Then the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites.

Judges 6:29

29 They said to one another, "Who did this thing?" And when they searched about and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Joash did this thing."

Judges 6:30

30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal, and indeed, he has cut down the Asherah which was beside it."

Judges 6:33

33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the sons of the east assembled themselves; and they crossed over and camped in the valley of Jezreel.

Judges 7:12

12 Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore .

Judges 7:14

14 His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand."

Judges 8:10

10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about 15,000 men, all who were left of the entire army of the sons of the east; for the fallen were 120,000 swordsmen .

Judges 8:13

13 Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.

Judges 8:18

18 Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" And they said, "They were like you, each one resembling the son of a king."

Judges 8:19

19 He said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if only you had let them live, I would not kill you."

Judges 8:22

22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son's son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."

Judges 8:23

23 But Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you."

Judges 8:28

28 So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.

Judges 8:29

29 Then Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house.

Judges 8:30

30 Now Gideon had seventy sons who were his direct descendants, for he had many wives.

Judges 8:31

31 His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.

Judges 8:32

32 And Gideon the son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Judges 8:33

33 Then it came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-berith their god.

Judges 8:34

34 Thus the sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;

Judges 9:1

1 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's relatives, and spoke to them and to the whole clan of the household of his mother's father, saying,

Judges 9:2

2 "Speak, now, in the hearing of all the leaders of Shechem, 'Which is better for you, that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you?' Also, remember that I am your bone and your flesh."

Judges 9:5

5 Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself.

Judges 9:18

18 but you have risen against my father's house today and have killed his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your relative -

Judges 9:24

24 so that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

Judges 9:26

26 Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

Judges 9:28

28 Then Gaal the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is Zebul not his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

Judges 9:30

30 When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.

Judges 9:31

31 He sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, "Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem; and behold, they are stirring up the city against you.

Judges 9:35

35 Now Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the city gate; and Abimelech and the people who were with him arose from the ambush.

Judges 9:57

57 Also God returned all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.

Judges 10:1

1 Now after Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.

Judges 10:4

4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty cities in the land of Gilead that are called Havvoth-jair to this day.

Judges 10:6

6 Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD , served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

Judges 10:7

7 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon.

Judges 10:8

8 They afflicted and crushed the sons of Israel that year; for eighteen years they afflicted all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in Gilead in the land of the Amorites.

Judges 10:9

9 The sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.

Judges 10:10

10 Then the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD , saying, "We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have forsaken our God and served the Baals."

Judges 10:11

11 The LORD said to the sons of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines?

Judges 10:15

15 The sons of Israel said to the LORD , "We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please deliver us this day."

Judges 10:17

17 Then the sons of Ammon were summoned and they camped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together and camped in Mizpah.

Judges 10:18

18 The people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? He shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

Judges 11:1

1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a valiant warrior, but he was the son of a harlot . And Gilead was the father of Jephthah.

Judges 11:2

2 Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."

Judges 11:4

4 It came about after a while that the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.

Judges 11:5

5 When the sons of Ammon fought against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob;

Judges 11:6

6 and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief that we may fight against the sons of Ammon."

Judges 11:8

8 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight with the sons of Ammon and become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

Judges 11:9

9 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the LORD gives them up to me, will I become your head?"

Judges 11:12

12 Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, "What is between you and me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"

Judges 11:13

13 The king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up from Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan; therefore, return them peaceably now."

Judges 11:14

14 But Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon,

Judges 11:15

15 and they said to him, "Thus says Jephthah, 'Israel did not take away the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon.

Judges 11:25

25 'Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive with Israel, or did he ever fight against them?

Judges 11:27

27 'I therefore have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me; may the LORD , the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.' "

Judges 11:28

28 But the king of the sons of Ammon disregarded the message which Jephthah sent him.

Judges 11:29

29 Now the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, so that he passed through Gilead and Manasseh; then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon.

Judges 11:30

30 Jephthah made a vow to the LORD and said, "If You will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand,

Judges 11:31

31 then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."

Judges 11:32

32 So Jephthah crossed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD gave them into his hand.

Judges 11:33

33 He struck them with a very great slaughter from Aroer to the entrance of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

Judges 11:34

34 When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, behold, his daughter was coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. Now she was his one and only child; besides her he had no son or daughter.

Judges 11:36

36 So she said to him, "My father, you have given your word to the LORD ; do to me as you have said , since the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the sons of Ammon."

Judges 12:1

1 Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you."

Judges 12:2

2 Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon; when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.

Judges 12:3

3 "When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"

Judges 12:9

9 He had thirty sons, and thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage outside the family, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

Judges 12:13

13 Now Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel after him.

Judges 12:14

14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkeys; and he judged Israel eight years.

Judges 12:15

15 Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.

Judges 13:1

1 Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD , so that the LORD gave them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.

Judges 13:3

3 Then the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son.

Judges 13:5

5 "For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

Judges 13:7

7 "But he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.' "

Judges 13:24

24 Then the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson; and the child grew up and the LORD blessed him.

Judges 14:16

16 Samson's wife wept before him and said, "You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"

Judges 14:17

17 However she wept before him seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people.

Judges 17:2

2 He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse in my hearing, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD ."

Judges 17:3

3 He then returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, "I wholly dedicate the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore, I will return them to you."

Judges 17:5

5 And the man Micah had a shrine and he made an ephod and household idols and consecrated one of his sons, that he might become his priest.

Judges 17:11

11 The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

Judges 18:2

2 So the sons of Dan sent from their family five men out of their whole number, valiant men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, search the land." And they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

Judges 18:16

16 The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

Judges 18:22

22 When they had gone some distance from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house assembled and overtook the sons of Dan.

Judges 18:23

23 They cried to the sons of Dan, who turned around and said to Micah, "What is the matter with you, that you have assembled together?"

Judges 18:25

25 The sons of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will fall upon you and you will lose your life, with the lives of your household."

Judges 18:26

26 So the sons of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

Judges 18:30

30 The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

Judges 19:12

12 However, his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; but we will go on as far as Gibeah."

Judges 19:22

22 While they were celebrating , behold, the men of the city, certain worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have relations with him."

Judges 19:30

30 All who saw it said, "Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen from the day when the sons of Israel came up from the land of Egypt to this day. Consider it, take counsel and speak up!"

Judges 20:1

1 Then all the sons of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, came out, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

Judges 20:3

3 (Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness take place?"

Judges 20:7

7 "Behold, all you sons of Israel, give your advice and counsel here."

Judges 20:13

13 "Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

Judges 20:14

14 The sons of Benjamin gathered from the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.

Judges 20:15

15 From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.

Judges 20:18

18 Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, "Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?" Then the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

Judges 20:19

19 So the sons of Israel arose in the morning and camped against Gibeah.

Judges 20:21

21 Then the sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and felled to the ground on that day 22,000 men of Israel.

Judges 20:23

23 The sons of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and inquired of the LORD , saying, "Shall we again draw near for battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin?" And the LORD said, "Go up against him."

Judges 20:24

24 Then the sons of Israel came against the sons of Benjamin the second day.

Judges 20:25
