They went to war against five other kings. They were Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela. Bela was also called Zoar.

Abraham moved south into the Negev Desert. He lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar.

The Most High God gave the nations their lands. He divided up the human race. He set up borders for the nations. He did it based on the number of the angels in his heavenly court.

Lot looked around. He saw that the whole Jordan River valley toward the town of Zoar had plenty of water. It was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.So Lot chose the whole Jordan River valley for himself. Then he started out toward the east. The two men separated.Abram lived in the land of Canaan. Lot lived among the cities of the Jordan River valley. He set up his tents near Sodom.The people of Sodom were evil. They were sinning greatly against the Lord.The Lord spoke to Abram after Lot had left him. He said,“ Look around from where you are. Look north and south, east and west.I will give you all the land you see. I will give it forever to you and your family who comes after you.I will make them like the dust of the earth. Can dust be counted? If it can, then your family can be counted.Go! Walk through the land. See how long and wide it is. I am giving it to you.”

“ Give the Israelites a command. Tell them,‘ You are going to enter Canaan. The land will be given to you as your own. Here are the borders it must have.“‘ Your southern border will include part of the Desert of Zin. It will be along the border of Edom. Your southern border will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea.It will cross south of Scorpion Pass. It will continue on to Zin. From there it will go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon.There it will turn and join the Wadi of Egypt. It will come to an end at the Mediterranean Sea.Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. That will be your border on the west.For your northern border, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor.Continue it from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the border will go to Zedad.It will continue to Ziphron. It will come to an end at Hazar Enan. That will be your border on the north.For your eastern border, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah. Riblah is on the east side of Ain. From there the border will continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.Then the border will go down along the Jordan River. It will come to an end at the Dead Sea.“‘ That will be your land. And those will be its borders on every side.’ ”Moses gave the Israelites a command. He said,“ Cast lots when you divide up the land. Each tribe will have its own share. The Lord has ordered it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.The families of the tribes of Reuben and Gad have already received their shares. The families of half of the tribe of Manasseh have also received their share.Those two and a half tribes have received their shares east of the Jordan River. It flows near Jericho. Their land is toward the sunrise.”

all the people from other lands who lived there all the kings of Uz the Philistine kings of Ashkelon, Gaza and Ekron the Philistines still living in Ashdod

Joshua and the Israelites won the battle over the kings who ruled west of the Jordan River. The lands of those kings reached from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir. Joshua gave their lands to the tribes of Israel as their very own. He divided them up and gave each tribe its share.Those lands included the central hill country, the western hills and the Arabah Valley. They also included the mountain slopes, the Desert of Judah and the Negev Desert. Those lands belonged to the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Here are the kings Israel won the battle over.

The Lord continues,“ People of Ephraim, how can I give you up? Israel, how can I hand you over to your enemies? Can I destroy you as I did the town of Admah? Can I treat you like Zeboyim? My heart is stirred inside me. It is filled with pity for you.

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram. He said,“ I am giving this land to your family who comes after you. It reaches from the River of Egypt to the great Euphrates River.It includes the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,Hittites, Perizzites and Rephaites.The Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites also live there.”

One day Samson went to Gaza. There he saw a prostitute. He went in to spend the night with her.

Then the Lord sent down burning sulfur. It came down like rain on Sodom and Gomorrah. It came from the Lord. It came out of the sky.The Lord destroyed these cities and the whole valley. All the people who were living in the cities were wiped out. So were the plants in the land.

There was very little food in the land. The same thing had been true earlier, in Abraham’s time. Isaac went to Abimelek in Gerar. Abimelek was the king of the Philistines.

The Lord also said,“ The cries against Sodom and Gomorrah are very great. Their sin is so bad

The rest of the tribes of Israel received their shares of land in Canaan. Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, decided what each of the tribes should receive. The leaders of the tribes helped them make these decisions.The shares of nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh were decided by casting lots. That’s what the Lord had commanded through Moses.Moses had given two tribes and the other half of the tribe of Manasseh their shares east of the Jordan River. But Moses had not given the Levites a share among the other tribes.Manasseh and Ephraim were the sons of Joseph. They had become two tribes. The Levites didn’t receive any share of the land. They only received towns to live in and grasslands for their flocks and herds.So the Israelites divided up the land, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.The people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, spoke to Joshua. He said,“ You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God. He spoke to him at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to check out the land. I was 40 years old at that time. I brought back an honest report to him. I told him exactly what I had seen.Several other men of Israel went up with me. What they reported terrified the people. But I followed the Lord my God with my whole heart.So on that day Moses made a promise to me. He said,‘ The land you have walked on will be your share. It will be the share of your children forever. That’s because you have followed the Lord my God with your whole heart.’( Deuteronomy 1:36)“ The Lord has done just as he promised. He made the promise while Israel was wandering around in the desert. That was 45 years ago. He has kept me alive all this time. So here I am today, 85 years old!I’m still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. I’m just as able to go out to battle now as I was then.So give me this hill country. The Lord promised it to me that day. At that time you yourself heard that the Anakites were living there. You also heard that their cities were large and had high walls around them. But I’ll drive them out, just as the Lord said I would. He will help me do it.”Then Joshua blessed Caleb, the son of Jephunneh. He gave him Hebron as his share.So ever since that time Hebron has belonged to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite. That’s because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, with his whole heart.Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. It was named after Arba. He was the greatest man among the Anakites. So the land had peace and rest.
