Naphtali; and for the tribe of Dan, the Amorites; and the tribe of Issachar; and for the tribe of Asher, the Perizzites (Joshua 19:25-26). Having distributed all this land, Jesus, having lived seventy and ten years, died (Joshua 24:20). And after the death of Eleazar the son of Aaron, Phinehas his son took up the high priesthood (Numbers 20:28).

But after the death of Joshua, the Israelites, having turned away from God, worshipped Astarte (Judges 2:11), and God delivered them into the hands of Cusharthan the Syrian king, who put them into much distress, so that, having been much afflicted, they cried out to God, and judges were given to them (Judges 2:11-16).

Greek

Νεφθαλείμ· καὶ τῇ φυλῇ τοῦ ∆ὰν τὴν Ἀμοῤῥαίων· τῇ δὲ φυλῇ Ἰσσάχαρ, καὶ τῇ φυλῇ Ἀσὴρ τὴν τῶν Φερεζαίων. Ταύτην πᾶσαν διανείμας τὴν γῆν Ἰησοῦς ρʹ καὶ ιʹ βιώσας ἔτη, ἀπέθανεν, Ἐλεαζάρου δὲ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἀαρὼν τελευτήσαντος τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην Φινὲς ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ διεδέξατο. Μετὰ δὲ τὴν τελευτὴν Ἰησοῦ Ναυῆ οἱ Ἰσραηλῖται, ἀποστάντες τοῦ Θεοῦ, τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ ἐλάτρευσαν καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὑποχειρίους ὁ Θεὸς Χουσαρθὰν τῷ Σύρων βασιλεῖ, ὅστις εἰς πολλὴν συνοχὴν αὐτοὺς κατέστησεν, ὡς ἐπὶ πολὺ καταπονηθέντας αὐτοὺς βοῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ δοθῆναι αὐτοῖς κριτάς.
