What does Judges 1:9-10 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai ( Judges 1:10) were evidently the ruling lords of Hebron (lit. confederacy), the highest city in elevation in Judah (ca3 ,000 ft.). The older name of this town was Kiriath Arba, "city of four." This name may have its origin in an alliance of four communities in that area, or possibly from Arba, the father of Anak, who may have been the founder of the town or towns (cf. Judges 1:20; Joshua 14:15; Joshua 15:13; Joshua 21:11). ^[1] The Anakim had become proverbially great and fearsome foes (cf. Deuteronomy 9:2).
