13 Caleb’s Conquests
Now Joshua gave an allotment among the descendants of Judah to Jephunneh’s son Caleb, just as God told Joshua, Kiriath-arba, which was named after the ancestor of Anak (that is, Hebron).
14 From there Caleb drove the three descendants of Anak, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai—the Anakim.
15 Then he went up from there to attack the inhabitants of Debir. (Debir was formerly known as Kiriath-sepher.)
16 Then Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Achsah in marriage to the one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it.” 17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured it, so Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as his wife. 18 Sometime later, she came to Othniel and persuaded him to ask her father for a field.
As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
19 She replied, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also some springs of water.” So he gave her the upper and lower springs.
