The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 41
Judah 6
At the waters of Chuzeba the men of Jobel attacked, yet their allies from Selom were slain and given no escape.
1nd when I was at the waters of Chuzeba, the men of Jobel came against us to battle, and we fought with them; and their allies from Selom we slew, and we allowed them no means of escaping, and of coming against us.
2 And the men of Machir came upon us on the fifth day, to carry away our captives; and we attacked them, and overcame them in fierce battle: for they were a host and mighty in themselves, and we slew them before they had gone up the ascent of the hill.
3 And when we came to their city, their women rolled upon us stones from the brow of the hill on which the city stood.
4 And I and Simeon hid ourselves behind the town, and seized upon the heights, and utterly destroyed the whole city.
