Judges 1:1-4

After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the LORD, “Who will be first to go and fight for us against the Canaanites?” The LORD said to them, “The tribe of Judah will go. I have handed the land over to them.” The men of Judah said to the men of Simeon, their relatives, “Come and help us fight the Canaanites for our land. If you do, we will go and help you fight for your land.” So the men of Simeon went with them. When Judah attacked, the LORD handed over the Canaanites and the Perizzites to them, and they defeated ten thousand men at the city of Bezek.
