**38:1** And when the two kings of the Canaanites came in warlike array against our flocks, and much people with them, I by myself rushed upon King Sur and seized him; and I beat him upon the legs, and dragged him down, and so I slew him.

**38:2** And the other king, Taphue, I slew as he sat upon his horse, and so I scattered all the people.

**38:3** Achor the king, a man of giant stature, hurling darts before and behind as he sat on horseback, I slew; for I hurled a stone of sixty pounds weight, and cast it upon his horse, and killed him.

**38:4** And I fought with Achor for two hours, and I killed him; and I clave his shield into two parts, and I chopped off his feet.

**38:5** And as I stripped off his breastplate, behold, eight men his companions began to fight with me.

**38:6** I wound round therefore my garment in my hand; and I slang stones at them, and killed four of them, and the rest fled.

**38:7** And Jacob my father slew Beelisa, king of all the kings, a giant in strength, twelve cubits high; and fear fell upon them, and they ceased from making war with us.

**38:8** Therefore my father had no care in the wars when I was among my brethren.

**38:9** For he saw in a vision concerning me, that an angel of might followed me everywhere, that I should not be overcome.
