Judges 1:9

And afterwards the children of Judah
After the taking of Bezek, and the king of it, having him to Jerusalem, where he died: they

went down;
from Jerusalem; which was on high ground:

to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the mountain, and in the
south, and in the valley;
into which several parts the lot of the tribe of Judah was divided; in each of which they had cities, and some, as it seems, yet unsubdued, and in the hands of the Canaanites; of these several parts, and the cities in them, see ( Joshua 15:21 Joshua 15:33 Joshua 15:48 ) .
