Notes

Judges 1:10

Hebron was the city closest to Abraham's home by the oaks of Mamre (Genesis 13:18). The patriarchs later lived and were buried there (Genesis 23:19; 35:27; 49:29–32). It was originally called Kiriath-arba, meaning "City of Arba," named after the legendary Arba, who was a great hero of the descendants of Anak and Anak's ancestor (Joshua 14:15; 15:13). The Anakites are identified with the feared Nephilites (Numbers 13:33; see Genesis 6:4).

Judges 1:1–2:5

The first prologue talks about how the tribes did not follow Joshua's farewell instructions (Joshua 23).
