• A. 1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first,

• B. 1 to fight against them?

• C. 2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up:

• D. 2 behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

• C'. 3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot,

• B'. 3 that we may fight

• A'. 3 against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
