Joshua sent them home with his blessing and with these words: "You are going back home very rich, with a lot of livestock, silver, gold, bronze, iron, and many clothes. Share with your fellow tribesmen what you took from your enemies." Then they left for home. Moses had given land east of the Jordan to one half of the tribe of Manasseh, but to the other half Joshua had given land west of the Jordan, along with the other tribes.

Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to the king. Jacob gave the king his blessing,

Jacob gave the king a farewell blessing and left.

"Go in peace," Eli said, "and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for."

But I love only one, and she is as lovely as a dove. She is her mother's only daughter, her mother's favorite child. All women look at her and praise her; queens and concubines sing her praises.

After this, Joshua and his army went from Eglon up into the hills to Hebron, attacked it

and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else in the city as well as in the nearby towns. Joshua condemned the city to total destruction, just as he had done to Eglon. No one in it was left alive.

As the LORD commanded Joshua, part of the territory of Judah was given to Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah. He received Hebron, the city belonging to Arba, father of Anak.

They were given the city of Arba (Arba was Anak's father), now called Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, along with the pasture land surrounding it.

However, the fields of the city, as well as its towns, had already been given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

As Moses had commanded, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out of the city the three clans descended from Anak.

This included Hebron in the territory of Judah and the pasture lands around it.

The fields and villages, however, that belonged to the city were assigned to Caleb son of Jephunneh.
