Judah's Conquests and Challenges

After Joshua's death, the Israelites seek guidance on who should lead the fight against the Canaanites. Judah is chosen and, with the help of the Simeonites, they conquer various territories, including Jerusalem. Caleb offers his daughter Axa in marriage to whoever captures Kiriath Sepher, which is taken by Othniel. Despite successes, some tribes struggle to fully drive out the Canaanites, leading to forced labor. The Amorites resist the Danites, confining them to the hill country.
