Amplified Bible
Joshua 15:13-19
13Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh Joshua gave a portion among the sons of Judah, as the Lord commanded him, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).
14So Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15Then he went up from there against the people of Debir; Debir was formerly named Kiriath-sepher.
16Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it.”
17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife.
18Now it came about that when Achsah came to Othniel, she persuaded him [to allow her] to ask her father for a field. Then she [rode up to Caleb and] dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
19Achsah answered, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the [dry] land of the Negev (South country), give me springs of water, too.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
