Judges 1:11-15

Living Bible

¹¹ Later they attacked the city of Debir (formerly called Kiriath-sepher).

¹² “Who will lead the attack against Debir?” Caleb challenged them. “Whoever conquers it shall have my daughter Achsah as his wife!”

¹³ Caleb’s nephew, Othniel, son of his younger brother Kenaz, volunteered to lead the attack; and he conquered the city and won Achsah as his bride. ¹⁴ As they were leaving for their new home,^[a] she urged him to ask her father for an additional piece of land. She dismounted from her donkey to speak to Caleb about it.

“What do you wish?” he asked.

¹⁵ And she replied, “You have been kind enough to give me land in the Negeb, but please give us springs of water too.”

So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
