Discovery BoxJudges 1:16 
Context1:16 Now the descendants of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the City of Date Palm Trees to Arad in the desert of Judah, 1 located in the Negev. 2 They went and lived with the people of Judah. 3
Judges 18:7
Context18:7 So the five men journeyed on 4 and arrived in Laish. They noticed that the people there 5 were living securely, like the Sidonians do, 6 undisturbed and unsuspecting. No conqueror was troubling them in any way. 7 They lived far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. 8
1 tc Part of the Greek
2 tn Heb “[to] the Desert of Judah in the Negev, Arad.”
3 tn The phrase “of Judah” is supplied here in the translation. Some ancient textual witnesses read, “They went and lived with the Amalekites.” This reading, however, is probably influenced by 1 Sam 15:6 (see also Num 24:20-21).
4 tn Or “went.”
5 tn Heb “who were in its midst.”
6 tn Heb “according to the custom of the Sidonians.”
7 tn Heb “and there was no one humiliating anything in the land, one taking possession [by] force.”
8 tc Heb “and a thing there was not to them with men.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX and Symmachus read “Syria” here rather than the MT’s “men.” This reading presupposes a Hebrew Vorlage אֲרָם (’aram, “Aram,” i.e., Arameans) rather than the MT reading אָדָם (’adam). This reading is possibly to be preferred over the MT.
