‏ Judges 1:16

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 ^{▼▼sn The city of date palm trees refers to Jericho. See Deut 34:3.} to Arad in the wilderness of Judah, ^{▼▼tc Part of the Greek ms tradition lacks the words “of Judah.”} located in the Negev. ^{▼▼tn Heb “[to] the wilderness of Judah in the Negev, Arad.”} They went and lived with the people of Judah. ^{▼▼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).}
