Common English Bible

Success at Hebron and Philistia

⁶⁵ At that time, Judas and his brothers headed out and fought Esau’s descendants in the land to the south. He struck Hebron and its villages, tore down its fortress, and burned its towers all around. ⁶⁶ He then set out to enter the land of the Philistines and passed through Marisa. ⁶⁷ That day some priests who wished to do a brave deed died in battle because they had gone out to battle unwisely.
