Judges 1:11-15
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)
