These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Chevron, to turn the kingdom of Sha'ul to him, according to the word of the LORD.
They went up by the South, and came to Chevron; and Achiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of `Anak, were there. (Now Chevron was built seven years before Tzo`an in Egypt.)
Therefore Adoni-Tzedek king of Yerushalayim sent to Hoham king of Chevron, and to Pir'am king of Yarmut, and to Yafia king of Lakhish, and to Devir king of `Eglon, saying,
and they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls who were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lakhish.
and they took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it, and all the cities of it, and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to `Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were therein.
Therefore the five kings of the Amori, the king of Yerushalayim, the king of Chevron, the king of Yarmut, the king of Lakhish, the king of `Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Giv`on, and made war against it.
To Kalev the son of Yefunneh he gave a portion among the children of Yehudah, according to the mitzvah of the LORD to Yehoshua, even Kiryat-Arba, [which Arba was] the father of `Anak (the same is Chevron).
Yehudah went against the Kena`anim who lived in Chevron (now the name of Chevron before was Kiryat-Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Achiman, and Talmai.
