1 After the death of Joshua,
the people of Israel inquired of the Lord,
“Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
2 The Lord said,
“Judah shall go up;
behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother,
“Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites.
And I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you.”
So Simeon went with him.
