JUDGES—NOTE ON Judges 1:2 Judah shall go up. Judah had been destined for leadership in Israel since receiving Jacob’s blessing (Genesis 49:8). Judah and Simeon were closely linked because both had the same mother (Genesis 29:33, Genesis 29:35). Simeon had inherited land in Judah’s territory (see notes on Gen. 49:5–7; Joshua 19:1).
