1Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐπηρώτων οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου λέγοντες Τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν πρὸς τοὺς Χαναναίους ἀφηγούμενος τοῦ πολεμῆσαι πρὸς αὐτούς; And it came to pass after the death of Joshua that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord saying Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites to fight against them?JUDGES. INTRODUCTION: conquests by the men of Judah & Simeon Jdg.1.1-21
2καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ιουδας ἀναβήσεται, ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ. And the Lord said Judas shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hand. 
3καὶ εἶπεν Ιουδας τῷ Συμεων ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ Ἀνάβηθι μετ' ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ μου, καὶ παραταξώμεθα πρὸς τοὺς Χαναναίους, καὶ πορεύσομαι κἀγὼ μετὰ σοῦ ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ σου. καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ' αὐτοῦ Συμεων. And Judas said to his brother Symeon Come up with me into my lot and let us array ourselves against the Chananites and I also will go with thee into thy lot: and Symeon went with him. 
4καὶ ἀνέβη Ιουδας, καὶ παρέδωκεν κύριος τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Φερεζαῖον εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔκοψαν αὐτοὺς ἐν Βεζεκ εἰς δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands and they smote them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.

6καὶ ἔφυγεν Αδωνιβεζεκ, καὶ κατέδραμον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ κατελάβοσαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκοψαν τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. And Adonibezek fled and they pursued after him and took him and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 
7καὶ εἶπεν Αδωνιβεζεκ Ἑβδομήκοντα βασιλεῖς τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν ἀποκεκομμένοι ἦσαν συλλέγοντες τὰ ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης μου· καθὼς οὖν ἐποίησα, οὕτως ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι ὁ θεός. καὶ ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ. And Adonibezek said Seventy kings having their thumbs and their great toes cut off gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem 
8Καὶ ἐπολέμουν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί. And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem and took it and smote with the edge of the sword and they burnt the city with fire.Jerusalem & Hebron taken. Jdg.1.8-10

10καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ιουδας πρὸς τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Χεβρων, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Χεβρων ἐξ ἐναντίας· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα ἦν Χεβρων τὸ πρότερον Καριαθαρβοξεφερ. καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Σεσσι καὶ Αχινααν καὶ Θολμιν, γεννήματα τοῦ Ενακ. And Judas went to the Chananite who dwelt in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [[and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher:]] and they smote Sessi and Achiman and Tholmi children of Enac. 
11καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκεῖθεν πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δαβιρ· τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῆς Δαβιρ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Καριαθσωφαρ, πόλις γραμμάτων. And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher the city of Letters.Othniel takes the city of Debir. Jdg.1.11-15 | Jos.15.13-19

13καὶ προκατελάβετο αὐτὴν Γοθονιηλ υἱὸς Κενεζ ἀδελφοῦ Χαλεβ ὁ νεώτερος, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Χαλεβ τὴν Ασχα θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς γυναῖκα. And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife. 
14καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέσεισεν αὐτὴν Γοθονιηλ τοῦ αἰτῆσαι παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἀγρόν, καὶ ἐγόγγυζεν καὶ ἔκραξεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑποζυγίου Εἰς γῆν νότου ἐκδέδοσαί με. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Χαλεβ Τί ἐστίν σοι; And it came to pass as she went in that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass Thou hast sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her What is thy request? 
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ασχα Δὸς δή μοι εὐλογίαν, ὅτι εἰς γῆν νότου ἐκδέδοσαί με, καὶ δώσεις μοι λύτρωσιν ὕδατος. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ Χαλεβ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς λύτρωσιν μετεώρων καὶ λύτρωσιν ταπεινῶν. And Ascha said to him Give me I pray thee a blessing for thou hast sent me forth into a south land 
16Καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιοθορ τοῦ Κιναιου τοῦ γαμβροῦ Μωυσέως ἀνέβησαν ἐκ πόλεως τῶν φοινίκων μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ιουδα εἰς τὴν ἔρημον τὴν οὖσαν ἐν τῷ νότῳ Ιουδα, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ καταβάσεως Αραδ, καὶ κατῴκησαν μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ. - And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda which is at the descent of Arad and they dwelt with the people.Victories of the men of Benjamin & Judah. Jdg.1.16-21
17καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ιουδας μετὰ Συμεων τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκοψεν τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα Σεφεκ· καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσαν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως Ἀνάθεμα. And Judas went with Symeon his brother and smote the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema. 
18καὶ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησεν Ιουδας τὴν Γάζαν οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Ἀσκαλῶνα οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Ακκαρων οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Ἄζωτον οὐδὲ τὰ περισπόρια αὐτῆς. But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts nor Ascalon nor her coasts nor Accaron nor her coasts [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it. 
19καὶ ἦν κύριος μετὰ Ιουδα, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν τὸ ὄρος· ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν κοιλάδα, ὅτι Ρηχαβ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς. And the Lord was with Judas and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley for Rechab prevented them. 
20καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ Χαλεβ τὴν Χεβρων, καθὼς ἐλάλησεν Μωϋσῆς, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν ἐκεῖθεν τὰς τρεῖς πόλεις τῶν υἱῶν Ενακ. And they gave Chebron to Chaleb as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac. 
21καὶ τὸν Ιεβουσαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Ιερουσαλημ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν, καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Ιεβουσαῖος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who dwelt in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.

24καὶ εἶδον οἱ φυλάσσοντες, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ τῆς πόλεως· καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ Δεῖξον ἡμῖν τῆς πόλεως τὴν εἴσοδον, καὶ ποιήσομεν μετὰ σοῦ ἔλεος. And the spies looked and behold a man went out of the city and they took him; and they said to him Shew us the way into the city

And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan which is a city of Scythians nor her towns nor her suburbs; nor Thanac nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of DorThe Cities where the inhabitants remained. Jdg.1.27-36
28καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐνίσχυσεν Ισραηλ, καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸν Χαναναῖον εἰς φόρον καὶ ἐξαίρων οὐκ ἐξῆρεν αὐτόν. And it came to pass when Israel was strong that he made the Chananite tributary but did not utterly drive them out. 
29Καὶ Εφραιμ οὐκ ἐξῆρεν τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Γαζερ· καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν Γαζερ καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς φόρον. And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that dwelt in Gazer; and the Chananite dwelt in the midst of him in Gazer and became tributary.

And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite dwelt in the midst of them and became tributary to them.

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.

Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
