Judges 1:5-15
5And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gleaned under my table: as I have done, so 1God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9And afterwards the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
10And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; and they slew Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.
11And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
12And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
13And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
14And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?
15And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
