XCVII. Judges, Chap. I. Ver. 10. to 13.
Judah conquers Hebron and Debir. Achsah given to Othniel.
Strong
Hebron next thro' Canaan's Regions fam'd,
Of old from Anakean Arba nam'd;
Judah's victorious Army dar'd oppose,
Who saw unmov'd their huge Gigantic Foes:
The monstrous Sons of Anak saw from far,
Each nodding Terrour, each himself a War.
Low in the Plain encamp'd the Hebrews lay,
Whom from the Walls with scorn their Foes survey:
Behold above the rest proud Sheshai stand,
Who own'd no God but his own strong Right-hand:
The Fear of Israel he aloud defies,
And darts retorted curses at the Skies:
Nor valiant Othniel this, who from below,
Shoots o're the Hill to meet th'unequal Foe:
Thro' Darts, thro' Swords, thro' Show'rs of Death he's born,
Thro' rocky Fragments from the Mountain torn:
See him upon the tallest Rampart stand,
And meet the bold Blasphemer hand to hand:
His well-known Sword he rais'd (the dreadful Blade,
With choicest Skill at rich Damascus made,)
And cleaves him to the Twist.—
—Still like a half demolish'd Tow'r he stood,
And his warm Entrails spouted Seas of Blood:
At length he falls, and num'rous Crowds beneath,
In his wide Ruins find their Grave and Death:
Dread and Dismay the weak Defendants seize,
By Israel trampled, and destroy'd with ease.

Dread and Dismay the weak Defendants seize,
By Israel trampled, and destroy'd with ease.
To Debir next victorious Othniel goes,
Their Battlements he scales, and routs his Foes:
Below the beauteous Achsah view'd the Fight,
Honour and Love at once enflam'd her Knight:
Honour bids high, but Love had stronger Charms,
He comes, and reaps the Fruit of Conquest in her Arms.
