Judges 1:11-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 From there they marched against the residents of Debir(A) (Debir was formerly named Kiriath-sepher).
12 Caleb(B) said, “Whoever strikes down and captures Kiriath-sepher, I will give my daughter Achsah(C) to him as a wife.” 13 So Othniel(D) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s youngest brother, captured it, and Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to him as his wife.
14 When she arrived, she persuaded Othniel[a] to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her,[b] “What do you want?” 15 She answered him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev,(E) give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.[c](F)

11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir(A) (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).
12 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.
14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[a] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
