(
praise
). (1) Fourth
son
of
Jacob
(
Gen. 29:35; 37:26-28; 43:3-10; 44:14-34
35
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. (Genesis 29:35)
26
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
28
Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. (Genesis 37:26‑28)
3
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5
But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
9
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time. (Genesis 43:3‑10)
14
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15
And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
17
And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20
And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
21
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25
And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26
And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
27
And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
28
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
29
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
30
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
31
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
33
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. (Genesis 44:14‑34)
). His tribe the largest (
Num. 1:26-27
26
Of the children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
27
Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. (Numbers 1:26‑27)
). Allotted the southern section of
Canaan
(
Josh. 15:1-63
1
This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
2
And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
3
And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
4
From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.
5
And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
6
And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
7
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel:
8
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
9
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim:
10
And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
11
And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
12
And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
14
And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15
And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
16
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
17
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
18
And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
19
Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
20
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

“Judah” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
1.
The fourth
son
of
Jacob
and
Leah
, and the
head
of the tribe bearing his name, which signifies “
praise
.” It was Judah who advised the selling of
Joseph
rather than taking his
life
: so his descendants, the Jews, delivered the
Lord
into the hands of the
Gentiles
. He sinned in the matter of
Tamar
his
daughter
-in-
law
; was ready enough to have her punished till it was shown that he also was guilty. Thus is traced the terribly corrupt history of the family of whom according to
election
Christ was to be born. Though not the eldest son he began to take a chief place in the family. He was able to persuade his
father
to let
Benjamin
be taken into
Egypt
, and when appeals were to be made to Joseph it was Judah who made them. When Jacob blessed his sons, the predictions show that in Judah was centered the
royal line
. The
scepter
should not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver
from between his feet until
Shiloh
came (
Gen. 49:8-12
8
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. (Genesis 49:8‑12)
). From Judah sprang
David
and a long succession of kings. Christ as born of the tribe of Judah, is referred to as “the
Lion
of the tribe of
Juda
” (
Rev. 5:5
5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (Revelation 5:5)
). In
Luke 3:33
33
Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, (Luke 3:33)
;
Hebrews 7:14
14
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. (Hebrews 7:14)
;
Revelation 5:5
5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (Revelation 5:5)
and
Revelation 7:5
5
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. (Revelation 7:5)
, the name is given as JUDA: and in
Matthew 1:2-3
2
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; (Matthew 1:2‑3)
, it is
JUDAS
.
The tribe held a prominent position. In the journeyings of the Israelites, Judah took the
lead
, and at the first and second
census
their numbers were 74,600 and 76,500. Their allotted portion was large. Its
east
border embraced the whole of the
Dead
Sea
, and extended to
Gath
and the land of the
Philistines
on the
west
. Its northern boundary was about 31° 48' N, and in the
south
it extended to the
Desert
of
Paran
.
Jerusalem
was near the border between Judah and Benjamin. In
Joshua 18:28
28
And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families. (Joshua 18:28)
it is one of the cities mentioned as falling to Benjamin; but in
Joshua 15:63
63
As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day. (Joshua 15:63)
and
Judges 1:8
8
Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. (Judges 1:8)
it is referred to Judah. David and his successors being of this tribe, Jerusalem became their dwelling place.
2.
Ancestor of some
Levites
who helped to rebuild
the temple
(
Ezra 3:9
9
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites. (Ezra 3:9)
). Perhaps the same as
HODAVIAH
No. 3.
3.
Levite who had taken a strange wife (
Ezra 10:23
23
Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. (Ezra 10:23)
).
4.
Son of
Senuah
: he was an
overseer
in Jerusalem (
Neh. 11:9
9
And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer: and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city. (Nehemiah 11:9)
).
5.
Levite who returned from exile (
Neh. 12:8
8
Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. (Nehemiah 12:8)
).
6-7.
A
prince
of Judah, and a
priest
and musician who assisted at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem (
Neh. 12:34,36
34
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, (Nehemiah 12:34)
36
And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them. (Nehemiah 12:36)
).
“Judah, the Kingdom of” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
On the separation of the
ten
tribes,
Judah
and
Benjamin
formed a
kingdom
under the name of Judah. Benjamin being but a small tribe, the
kingdom of
Judah is
sometimes
spoken of as
one
tribe. Doubtless the territory of
Simeon
was also attached to Judah—that tribe being as it were lost in the land. It was not named when
Moses
blessed the tribes (Deut. 33, compare
Gen. 49:7
7
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. (Genesis 49:7)
).
Bethel
, out of the portion of Benjamin, fell to the kingdom of
Israel
.
The temple
being at
Jerusalem
, with the priests and
Levites
, Judah represented
God
’s people and His government upon the
earth
; whereas the kingdom of Israel gave itself up at once to
idolatry
. God, according to His promise, still caused the
lamp
of
David
to shine at Jerusalem. Many of the kings served God with purpose of
heart
, though others embraced idolatry. (For the succession of the kings, see KINGS.) The kingdom of Judah continued from B.C. 975 to 606 when many of the people were carried captive, though Jerusalem was not destroyed till B.C. 588.
Seventy years of
captivity
had been foretold by
Jeremiah
(
Jer. 25:11-12
11
And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12
And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. (Jeremiah 25:11‑12)
;
Jer. 29:10
10
For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. (Jeremiah 29:10)
): these began in B.C. 606 and ended in 536 when under
Cyrus
the Jews returned to build the
house
of
Jehovah
; but it was not finished and dedicated until B.C. 515 (
Ezra 6:15
15
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. (Ezra 6:15)
). A commission was given to Ezra in B.C. 468 (Ezra 7); and one to
Nehemiah
to rebuild the city in 455. It could not however be called the
kingdom
of Judah; only a
remnant
of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin returned. They were first subject to the kingdom of
Persia
, then to the kingdom of
Greece
, and after a short
time
of freedom under
JUDAS
MACCABEUS and his successors they became subject to
Rome
.
In B.C. 65
Syria
became a Roman province and in the
year
40 Herod was appointed by Rome king of Judæa, and he continued on the
throne
to
New
Testament
times
. The
children
of Israel inhabiting Judæa in those days were the descendants of Judah and Benjamin (except any individuals who may have found their way there from the ten tribes). They were the people to whom the
Messiah
was presented, and who refused and crucified Him. They continued their persecution in the times of the apostles, and they will be dealt with separately from the ten tribes (compare
Matt. 24:4-35
4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16
Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:
17
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25
Behold, I have told you before.
26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:4‑35)
;
Matt. 27:25
25
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matthew 27:25)
).
They revolted from Rome, and in A.D. 70 Jerusalem was taken and destroyed, some of its inhabitants were sold as
slaves
, and thousands were slain (
Dan. 9:26
26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Daniel 9:26)
;
Luke 21:12-24
12
