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.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
