Judges 1:10

וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֗ה אֶל־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ הַיֹּושֵׁ֣ב בְּחֶבְרֹ֔ון וְשֵׁם־חֶבְרֹ֥ון לְפָנִ֖ים קִרְיַ֣ת אַרְבַּ֑ע וַיַּכּ֛וּ אֶת־שֵׁשַׁ֥י וְאֶת־אֲחִימַ֖ן וְאֶת־תַּלְמָֽי׃

And Yehuda went against the Kenaʿani who dwelled in Ḥevron—now the name of Ḥevron before was Qiryat-Arba—and they struck Sheshai, and Aḥiman, and Talmai.
