Caleb Occupies Hebron and Debir(A)

13 (B)Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of (C)Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, namely, (D)Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). 14 Caleb drove out (E)the three sons of Anak from there: (F)Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 Then (G)he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).

16 (H)And Caleb said, “He who [a]attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” 17 So (I)Othniel the (J)son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him (K)Achsah his daughter as wife. 18 (L)Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So (M)she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?” 19 She answered, “Give me a (N)blessing; 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.

48 And in the mountain country: Shamir, Jattir, Sochoh, 49 Dannah, Kirjath Sannah (which is Debir), 50 Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim, 51 (AD)Goshen, Holon, and Giloh: eleven cities with their villages; 52 Arab, Dumah, Eshean, 53 Janum, Beth Tappuah, Aphekah, 54 Humtah, (AE)Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron), and Zior: nine cities with their villages; 55 (AF)Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah, 56 Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah, 57 Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah: ten cities with their villages; 58 Halhul, Beth Zur, Gedor, 59 Maarath, Beth Anoth, and Eltekon: six cities with their villages; 60 (AG)Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim) and Rabbah: two cities with their villages.

13 And to Caleb son of Jephunneh hath he given a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the command of Jehovah to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba, father of Anak -- it [is] Hebron.

14 And Caleb is dispossessing thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, children of Anak,

15 and he goeth up thence unto the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir formerly is Kirjath-Sepher.

16 And Caleb saith, `He who smiteth Kirjath-Sephar, and hath captured it -- I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.'

17 And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, doth capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

18 And it cometh to pass, in her coming in, that she persuadeth him to ask from her father a field, and she lighteth from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, `What -- to thee?'
