Caleb Occupies Hebron and Debir

13 uNow to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of vJudah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, namely, wKirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). 14 Caleb drove out xthe three sons of Anak from there: ySheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 Then zhe went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).

16 aAnd Caleb said, “He who 4attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” 17 So bOthniel the cson of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him dAchsah his daughter as wife. 18 eNow it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So fshe dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?” 19 She answered, “Give me a gblessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
