Jueces 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 1:3

And Judah said unto Simeon his brother
The men of the tribe of Judah said to those of the tribe of Simeon, they being not only brethren by father's and mother's side, which was not the case of all the sons of Jacob, but their possessions and inheritances lay near together; and indeed those of Simeon were within the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 19:1 ) ; so that as they lived in great nearness and familiarity with each other, their interests were closely united together:

come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites;
conjunctly: the meaning is, that the tribe of Simeon, as many of their warlike men as could, would come and join their forces with those of the tribe of Judah, in order to reduce such cities, in the lot of that tribe, the Canaanites as yet were in the possession of:

and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot:
the cities being conquered which were in the lot, of the tribe of Judah, that tribe proposed to bring their united forces into the lot of the tribe of Simeon, and reduce such cities as were in that lot:

so Simeon went with him:
the tribe of Simeon agreed to the proposal, and went along with the tribe of Judah against their common enemy.

Jueces 1:3 In-Context

1 Judá y Simeón conquistan la tierra
Después de la muerte de Josué, los israelitas le preguntaron al Señor
:
—¿Cuál de las tribus debe ser la primera en atacar a los cananeos?

2 El Señor
contestó:
—Judá, porque yo le he dado la victoria sobre la tierra.

3 Entonces los hombres de Judá les dijeron a sus parientes de la tribu de Simeón: «Vengan con nosotros a luchar contra los cananeos que viven en el territorio que se nos asignó. Después nosotros los ayudaremos a ustedes a conquistar su territorio». Así que los hombres de Simeón fueron con los de Judá.

4 Cuando los hombres de Judá atacaron, el Señor
les dio la victoria sobre los cananeos y los ferezeos, y mataron a diez mil guerreros enemigos en la ciudad de Bezec.

5 Mientras estaban en Bezec, se toparon con el rey Adoni-bezec y lucharon contra él, y derrotaron a los cananeos y a los ferezeos.
