9 Afterward Aʹbram broke camp, going then from encampment to encampment toward the Negʹeb.*+

20 Now Abraham moved camp from there+ to the land of the Negʹeb and took up dwelling between Kaʹdesh+ and Shur+ and residing as an alien at Geʹrar.+

22 When they went up into the Negʹeb,+ they then came to Heʹbron.+ Now A·hiʹman, Sheʹshai and Talʹmai,+ those born of Aʹnak,*+ were there. Incidentally, Heʹbron+ had been built seven years before Zoʹan+ of Egypt.

9 And afterward the sons of Judah went down to fight against the Caʹnaan·ites inhabiting the mountainous region and the Negʹeb+ and the She·pheʹlah.+

7 Then they came to the fortress of Tyre+ and all the cities of the Hiʹvites+ and of the Caʹnaan·ites and came to the terminating point in the Negʹeb+ of Judah at Beʹer-sheʹba.+

19 And they must take possession of the Negʹeb,* even of the mountainous region of Eʹsau,+ and of the She·pheʹlah,* even of the Phi·lisʹtines.+ And they must take possession of the field of Eʹphra·im+ and of the field of Sa·marʹi·a;+ and Benjamin [must take possession of] Gilʹe·ad.+
