21 Now the Caʹnaan·ite the king of Aʹrad,+ who dwelt in the Negʹeb,*+ got to hear that Israel had come by the way of Athʹa·rim, and he began to fight with Israel and carry away some of them as captives.

3 and the Negʹeb+ and the District,*+ the valley plain of Jerʹi·cho, the city of the palm trees,+ as far as Zoʹar.*+

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.+
