Joshua 15:13-19 - Caleb And Othniel

¹³ 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.
